Brighten the Harbor Lighted Boat Parade

Watch Monterey Yacht Club's decorated boats light up Monterey Harbor on Sunday, December 6, 2026, from 5:15 to 7 p.m. Old Fisherman's Wharf offers a wonderful shoreside view, with boats expected to pass around 5:30 p.m. and again on their return. This free-to-watch parade is part of Christmas on the Wharf, about a 5-minute drive from Stargazer Hotel.
