OXNARD - Holiday Lights on the Water at Channel Islands Harbor offers visitors and local residents an opportunity to celebrate cool nights on the glowing waterways of Oxnard's harbor region. Watch the lights reflect and dance on the channel waterways with what seems like a million twinkling lights from decorated homes and mansions that line the channel. This is a special time of year and a ride you won't want to miss.

There are still hotel rooms as of posting of this event: Affordable hotel rooms include Best Western, Hampton Inn and Casa Sirena on the waterfront. Our absolute favorite is Embassy Suites Mandalay Beach, but Four Points by Sheraton (in Ventura).
