Venice Paparazzi is proud to be the official photographers for the Marina del Rey Holiday Boat Parade!
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, California.
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!

A message from MDR Holiday Boat Parade!
The Holiday Boat Parade in Marina del Rey is held every year on the second Saturday in December.
Our theme this year is “ Margarittaville Holiday” celebrating the joyful legacy of the legendary singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett. The parade begins with a spectacular light show display. Boat participants come up with their own ideas and decorate their boats with lots of holiday lights and decorations with our theme as their guide. They also wear costumes, dance, sing, have live bands or play music. Both boaters and spectators enjoy themselves immensely.
We look forward to seeing you at our 62nd Annual Marina del Rey Holiday Boat Parade on Saturday, December 14, 2024!
