Christmas season is now upon us! While the seasons can bring tears for specific reasons, there is one thing that can always cheer someone up-- seeing bright and colorful Christmas lights! Here is where the best lights will be this year in Orange County!
Orange County has been doing Christmas lights for years, whether it’s a paid attraction or just parking down the street and walking into a magical place in time, OC has it! There are a lot of infamous places to attend this season.
Starting with Newport Beach, you are able to start seeing decorated yachts from many enthusiastic boaters beginning from December 13th to the 17th, starting at 6:30 pm. The boats start at Marina Park, going all the way along Newport Harbor, ending around 9:00 pm. Many recommend coming down to the Balboa Fun Zone and getting some hot chocolate and perhaps a donut, while enjoying all the beautiful lights you are able to see!
Another big one is the 116th Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade starting from December 18th, all the way through the 22nd! The parade will begin at 6:30 pm each night, starting and ending to and from the tip of Lido Isle. Many recommend bringing you and your friends/family to the 10.5 acre Marina Park, which is the biggest public viewing location to see all the boats.
There are also many neighborhoods that have numerous and humongous Christmas lights set up for people to enjoy. Just park your car in an accessible spot in whichever neighborhood, wear something warm, and enjoy a cozy walk.
There are many other locations where you are able to see these Christmas lights, the major ones being Aliso Viejo and Fountain Valley. Tis the season!
