The Marina del Rey Holiday Boat Parade, presented by Cedars-Sinai Hospital, continues to be a favorite community event that kicks off the holiday season in Marina del Rey.  Approximately 25,000 people view the Marina del Rey Boat Parade each year.   Many enjoy the festivities from popular viewing spots like Fisherman’s Village or Burton Chace Park, while others enjoy the view of the parade from a waterfront restaurant, their balcony at home, or from the comfort of their hotel room.

The Marina del Rey Holiday Boat Parade organization is a volunteer-run, non-profit community organization that presents the parade with support from corporate and community sponsors, in conjunction with the Los Angeles County Department of Beaches and Harbors.

Thank you to the Marina del Rey Holiday Boat Parade Committee for hosting this magical event year after year!
