Experience one of San Diego’s most cherished holiday traditions from the best seat in the harbor — aboard a Flagship yacht. On Sunday, December 14, and Sunday, December 21, the 55th Annual San Diego Bay Parade of Lights will illuminate the waterfront with this year’s theme, “An Out of This World Christmas.” More than 100,000 spectators are expected along the shore, but you can enjoy the parade up close, on the water, in comfort and style.
