Huntington Harbour Boat Parade
Photo of Boat with Dolphins & Reindeer
Huntington Beach decorated boat in the picture above is strewn with
illuminated lights and includes artificial lighted dolphins that frolic next to
the boat. This lighting and the Boat Parade that occurs two nights are the
precursors to the
Light Cruise.
We've discussed the merits and
difficulties of attending the Huntington Beach Christmas boat parade. But let's
assume you find parking and can walk. No doubt you will enjoy this event.
But vantage points come easiest for Huntington Harbour homeowners, and even some
of the channels with townhomes offer challenges for those wishing to see the
parade.
The photo above shows a Huntington Harbor
boat neatly decorated with playful nautical themes of dolphins frolicking. On
this vessel you can also see a white Christmas tree, plus an artificial reindeer
at the bow. Locals call the home next to this craft the Pirate Home. Each
year the owners of the boat and house decorated their dock with a life-size
mannequin of a pirate, plus other life-like, human-looking characters. As you
cruise by in the boat parade, it looks like people are sitting on the dock
watching.
But for the seasoned captains of the
harbor, they know better and aren't quickly fooled by this house and its
illusions. Part of the fun of the boat parade is the joking around that goes on,
and the homeowners of the house shown in the picture clearly have a sense of
humor.
Other events in HB include
Huntington
Beach Christmas Parade
and Santa's Arrival,
all part of the incredible thousands of special
California Christmas Events.
