Annual Los Angeles Harbor Holiday Afloat Parade

The Los Angeles Harbor communities of San Pedro and Wilmington will celebrate the free and festive Annual Los Angeles Harbor Holiday Afloat Parade on Saturday, December 6th, at 5 p.m., along the LA Waterfront at the Port of Los Angeles.

Each year, brightly lit vessels—from small sailboats to large yachts—cruise through local harbors, transforming the coastline into a sparkling, floating celebration. The events draw thousands of spectators who line the waterfront for an up-close view of the illuminated displays and festive themes.

Sponsored by the Port of Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Harbor Holiday Afloat Parade starts in the East Basin near Banning’s Landing Community Center in Wilmington and takes approximately 90 minutes to cover the entire parade route through the Los Angeles Main Channel. Officials and community leaders will take part in the parade as judges or passengers on approximately 60 participating vessels of all shapes and sizes, from tugboats to tall ships.

Spectators may view the procession from several points along the LA Waterfront, including:
