Monterey Lighted Boat Parade

Dozens of fishing boats, sailboats and yachts decked out in holiday lights cruise from the Monterey Marina past Old Fisherman's Wharf and around the harbor while spectators watch from the wharves and the Coast Guard Pier. Free, family-friendly and one of the most photographed nights of the year on the bay. Annual — typically held on a Saturday evening in mid-December; check the Monterey Bay Yacht Club for the current date.
