when: 13 Dec 2025 | venue: Burton Chace Park | address: 13650 Mindanao Way, Marina del Rey 90292The Holiday Boat Parade in Marina del Rey is held every year on the second Saturday in December.
The parade is made possible with great support from Cedar Sinai Marina del Rey Hospital and from local businesses.
Each year a theme is chosen for the parade, and the theme for 2025 was chosen to be “A Nightmare Before Christmas” celebrating the 13th of December. The 2025 parade begins with a spectacular light show. Each year, boat participants come up with their own ideas and decorate their boats with lots of holiday lights and decorations based on our theme. They also wear costumes, dance, sing, perform live music. Both boaters and spectators enjoy themselves immensely.
We look forward to seeing you at our 63rd Annual Marina del Rey Holiday Boat Parade on Saturday, December 13, 2025!
