Mission Bay To Host Parade Of Lights And Firework Show
December 14
Mission Bay announces the return of its beloved holiday boat parade, the “Mission Bay Parade of Lights,” on Saturday, December 14. Beginning at 5:30 p.m., the parade will start at SeaWorld with a firework kickoff, travel west, then north, and then east, ending at The Mission Bay Beach Club, with the full route taking about approximately two hours. Spectators of this year’s parade can expect elaborate, decorated boats from local organizations like Rady Children’s Hospital, San Diego Loyal, and SeaWorld.
“The holiday boat parade has been a Mission Bay tradition since 1970, and we are thrilled to join in and amplify the holiday festivities,” shares George Allen, representative of Discover Mission Bay. “This year’s boat parade promises to be bigger and better than ever, and we look forward to welcoming families to Mission Bay and bringing holiday cheer to the San Diego community.”
Free for all spectators to enjoy—including locals, visitors, and hotel guests—designated spectating areas will be set up around Mission Bay’s six hotels and resorts: Bahia Resort Hotel, Catamaran Resort Hotel and Spa, The Dana on Mission Bay, Hyatt Regency Mission Bay Spa and Marina, Paradise Point Resort, and San Diego Mission Bay Resort. Each viewing area will offer special festive food & beverage menus and family-friendly activities to get into the holiday spirit, such as bonfires and s’mores, live music, holiday games, an appearance from Santa Claus himself, and more.
