Join us for the 2026 Newport Harbor Illuminated Boat Parade as we light up the waterfront with festive, bright lights. Boats will be decorated from bow to stern and will travel clockwise around the harbor. Spectators can view the dazzling display of nautical holiday spirit from various points on the Newport waterfront as the decorated vessels circumnavigate Newport Harbor. View the parade from the Newport Yacht Club, Bowen's Wharf, Ann St. Pier, and Kings Park.
After the parade, the awards ceremony will be held at the Newport Yacht Club where prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd. and 3rd place as well as the Tim Mills Spirit Award. Spectators attending the ceremony are encouraged to bring a non-perishable food donation for Martin Luther King Jr. Center. A donation box will be located at the Newport Yacht Club.
Rain date will be Saturday, November 28th.
