In celebration of our 40 years of lighting the holiday season up with the boat parade, this year's theme goes big with "FANTASEA HOLIDAY" in conjunction with a new and exciting event to be held in Dana Point Harbor called "ILLUMINOCEAN". Showcasing the rich maritime history, sealife and activities found in Dana Point.  While others dream of these fantaseas, Dana Point lives the dream everyday.  The Harbor will be lit up like never before!  

Boaters from all around Orange County decorate their boats and vie for the awards of Judges Choice, Best Theme, Best Use of Lights, Best Animation, Most Colorful, Most Original, Best Sailboat, Best Powerboat and the Perpetual Trophy for the Yacht Club with the most entries.

You can view the parade FREE from anywhere in the Harbor, or make reservations at one of our restaurants to view it from a cozy and warm spot.  Come on down and enjoy the sights and sounds of the season.  Landlubbers can also participate in the parade!  Dana Wharf Sportfishing & Whale Watching offers boat rides so you too can experience the fun of actually riding on a boat and joining in the parade.  Kids will be able to participate in the judging of the Dana Wharf Kid's Cup Trophy.  Call and make your reservations at (949) 496-5794.  For more information call the Harbor Info line at (949) 923-2255, email us at info@danapointharbor.com or visit our website at www.danapointharbor.com.
