The Newport Beach Chamber of Commerce proudly hosts the 105th Year of this spectacular Holiday Tradition. Join over a million viewers that show up to watch beautifully decorated yachts, boats, kayaks and canoes sail along the harbor in the 105th Annual Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade. Hosted by the Commodores Club of the Newport Beach Chamber of Commerce, you are invited to celebrate this year as we feature the theme "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree!"
