Restaurants to view the NB Boat Parade
Photo Credit Bleu Cotton PhotographyChristmas lights are a big part of the holiday season. As November and December roll around, you might see strands of lights everywhere. On Christmas trees, houses, shrubs, bushes and even the occasional car! But how about boats? Lights on boats are awesome and you can see tons of them at the Newport Beach Christmas Parade.
This year will mark the 106th year the parade has taken place. Starting on December 17 the Newport Beach Christmas Parade will take place at 6:30pm every evening until December 21st. Themed “Deck the Hulls with Bows of Jolly,” over 100 vessels of all sizes adorned from top to bottom with lights, decorations, moving displays, dancers, and music will sail around the 14-mile stretch of the Newport Harbor.
If you are anything like me and enjoy dining out, what could be better than a delicious meal while watching the boat parade? This year, many of the restaurants in the neighborhood will be offering special menus in honor of the annual holiday event, which is a great way to have an intimate, elevated experience with family and friends.
