Come celebrate Marina del Rey’s official holiday season kick-off!

Come early to enjoy the kid-focused Snow Wonder festival from noon to 6 p.m. at Burton Chace Park. A brief fireworks show at 5:55 will announce the start of the Holiday Boat Parade in the main channel. Narration on a PA system is available at the two most popular viewing places, Burton Chace Park and Fisherman’s Village.

For 2018, 4th District L.A. County Supervisor Janice Hahn serves as the Grand Marshall. This year’s parade theme is Winter Water Wonderland.

Tickets are not required for Snow Wonder or for the Holiday Boat Parade.

The event is heavily attended and local parking lots fill quickly. We recommend arriving early in the day and enjoying activities and dining in the Marina while you wait for the start of the parade.
