Then, on the final night of the parade, Sunday, December 18, a special fireworks display will close out the parade from the Balboa Pier. Beginning at approximately 9:00 pm, the fireworks will be visible from all around the harbor.
Parade participants will start from the east end of Lido Island following the celebrated route, with the first public viewing destination at the 10.5-acre Marina Park. The community park offers 177 parking spaces, a nautical-themed playground, a picnic area and a sailing center, and is also the largest public viewing area along the parade route, creating an optimal location to gather and enjoy the festivities.
Optimal viewing of the beautifully decorated yachts, boats, kayaks, and canoes sail in the parade from the Dine & Watch waterfront and Dine & Walk dining options within walking distance of the many public viewing spots.
