View Parade of Lights from a Tall Ship!

The schooner Bill of Rights was in the best place in town to view the San Diego Bay Parade of Lights. We watched festively decorated local boats as they made their way around the bay from the deck of the schooner Bill of Rights. The cruise includes a wonderful selection of savory hors-d’œuvre, sweet holiday treats, and hot and cold beverages. Guests are also welcome to bring their own food and beverages.

The 53rd annual San Diego Bay Parade of Lights dazzles and entertained bayfront crowds during the evenings of December 10 and 17, 2023. This year’s theme was Christmas Traditions Around the World.”
