Watch illuminated boats cruise through the Port of Los Angeles during the annual L.A. Harbor Holiday Afloat Parade. Families can find free waterfront viewing locations throughout Wilmington and San Pedro to watch the festive procession of decorated boats.
This year’s theme, “Home for the Harbor Holidays,” honors first responders and military personnel. The harbor tradition dates back to 1962, when local boat owners began decorating their vessels and cruising the Main Channel for the holidays.
Admission: FREE!
