We do not have the resources to attend such an event, though we usually watch from the shore wishing we could be on a boat enjoying the lights up close and personal. Would love to win this and surprise my family with it for Christmas!
I love this time of the year! We love to look at likes and watch the boat parades! We would love to take our daughter on this she would be so excited!!
We would love to go!!! Wednesday is my hubby’s last day off before his 70 hour work weeks for the holidays starts! It would be nice to spend some time as a family to celebrate the holidays!!
Oooh, this would be the best Christmas present for my children! I had told them about it and showed them pictures, but cannot afford to go. I did the “some day, babies, some day” speech on them. Fingers and toes crossed we win! Merry Christmas and thank you!
My 3-year-old son loves boats and LOVES “pretties” (aka Christmas lights). We would love to get great seats for the parade!
Another exciting family event! This would be a very enjoyable evening!
We are a one income family so couldn’t splurge on these ourselves but my family of four would love to go!
I hope we can win that:))
I’ve never been to see the Newport Boat parade, what a great first experience this would be for my family!
I would like to win because our family recently moved further away from the beach and going there will bring back wonderful family memeories. Our kids loved the boat parade last year!!
My family and I would love to go and watch the boat parade. Unfortunately I was laid off about 4 months ago and to purchase tickets to something like this is just not up there on the priority list, especially right now during the Xmas season. If we were to win my family and I would be greatly appreciative and it would just a little more happiness in mine and my family’s heart, at a time when we can’t splurge on extra things like this. Thank you in advance.
Every year my family and I would see the Huntington Harbor Boat parade as part of our company christmas party. But since being laid off, we don’t have the means to view the parade. I have a 2 year old that would LOVE the parade this year!
This would be amazing. We are new to California so this is our first Christmas here. The parade of boats is something we would really enjoy and my kids would be stoked!! My toddler’s favorite thing right now is Christmas lights. What a great present this would be 🙂
This sounds wonderful! I know my lil guy would absolutely love this~he is really enjoying all of the lights, so I know this would be so exciting for him! :0)
My son loves boats and would be thrilled to view this parade. Our family would love to start making this a tradition. Thank you for sharing and putting this contest together!!
What a wonderful giveaway! We’re going to check this out for the very first time we’ve been living here in California. We’ll follow the route that to check it out but what a great way to start our holiday if we had front row seats for this great event. We kind of miss the snow from Colorado so anything to make it Christmaslike for my family would be great!
We have never been and would love to experience the first time attending on a boat. With our twins.. They would love it!!
Our family would love to do this for the holidays. We love the ocean but have never had the chance to do a boat cruise before. Thanks!
I would love to take my kids out to experience tho\is! My 2 year old would have a blast seeing all the lights.
I have never been and would love to go with my nephews! They love boats.
What a great way to start off the Holiday season! We have never been to the Newport Boat parade. It would be a great experience, my kids would love it! Thank you for the opportunity.
My 3 boys would love this. We have never been and are on the hunt for fun inexpensive holiday activities!
Can’t afford such a great adventure this year. The family would love to experience the parade.
Among many other families I am sure this year..funds are just too slim to take my family to any xmas boat parade. We have two little girls (4 and 5) who would so enjoy something like this. They get excited and say mom mom look at the neighbors lights everytime someone puts up new lights in our neighboorhood but to see thousands would be memoriable for them for sure. Happy holidays
Our family always watches the boat parade from land, but has never experienced the parade by boat. Hope to win this fun giveaway!
Would love this for my family!! Good luck to everyone!!!
We would love to do this, it looks so awesome. My kids would be so excited, hope we win.
I would love to take my family to see this, I think I saw it once when I was a kid, and it was amazing, and I would love to share that with my kids.
I saw the website of some lights from the past. Looks beautiful! We would love to be part of it!
I would love to win this for our family. With the economy and layoffs and everything we have not been able to do anything for our kids this year. I think that they would love to do something like this!! :o)
We would love to go! I recall seeing a boat parade when I was a kid but have not seen one since. My son has never been on a boat either, what a good way to start 🙂 sounds like a blast!
This would be a fun family outing. We have never taken the kids to see the boat parade and they would absolutely love it!
I’d love to win the Newport Landing Holiday Cruise so my family could experience the boat parade together!
What a great new family tradition to start with our children! We have 3 that are all different ages and I believe this is something the would all enjoy! We haven’t had the pleasure of attending but it looks like it would remind me of growing up in Idaho as a young girl and going down to the river with my parents for the boat parade in the freezing cold!
My boys would truly love this a get them into the spirit of the holiday since their dad and I are going through a divorce during this time. Its been an emotional and financial nightmare.
What a great family bonding experience. My fiance and I will be blending our families together in March and this would be an excellent way to do an activity together that we normally could not afford. Plus our daughters are obssessed with Chrismtas lights!
The Newport Beach Boat Parade is an annual event for our family and it would be so much fun to be able to witness it by being on a boat. My oldest son was born on December 20th at Hoag Hospital and my husband and I were able to watch the boat parade from my hospital room. Such wonderful memories!!
I would love to win these to create fun Christmas memories with my family. Because even though we’d be in the middle of a boat with lots of people in a harbor with lots of people, it would still just be us 4.
I would love to win this for our family to be able to see what is talked about every year… the Christmas lights in Newport Beach. We have never seen what everyone talks about and would love to. What better way to spend a Christmas outing in Southern California?
We have never been to the boat parade and would live to experience it as a family! My kids get excited driving down our block looking at lights so I can only imagine the excitement a boat parade would bring!
Have family visiting from Colorado and they have never experienced the Boat Parade. I thought they would love the experience!
Moving out here from the landlocked midwest and it being our first Christmas in California, a Christmas boat parade of lights seems very exotic and exciting. My kids would be totally surprised and eager to try out this west coast adventure!
we would love to check this out! our kids (nor their parents!) have ever seen this despite living in so cal for many years. we would be thrilled to have the opportunity to experience something this spectacular. the kids would be so excited over both the parade, and being on a boat!
mygirls would thinkthis was the best! loving making christmas traditions and memories as a family!
I would love to win this prize because what a great family memory to have. The one time we had scheduled to go to the parade (a couple years ago) the weather was horrible. It ended up being canceled so we didn’t go. 🙁 We were bummed! I have 2 boys who LOVE LOVE LOVE looking at Christmas lights! This would be so AWESOME.
What a wonderful opportunity to experience Christmas with the family. Memories, laughter and love is all wrapped up in this time of the season. What a delight it would be to win.
Just like someone else mentioned we are a one income family ( mom works dad stays with kids ) and this would be a great opportunity to get to share with all 4 of us this year!
We love to go, never been there before!

We love the Christmas lights…especially my little boy! we have to go visit the ones in our neighborhood every night to say “hi”! Crossing my fingers that we will have the opportunity to do this! I know we would have a blast!
We have never been to this event. It would be such a wonderful way for our family do get celebrate the holidays! Thank you for another great giveaway!
What a fun way to celebrate Christmas!! We stumbled upon the parade last year, watching it from the dock. Now that the little guy is out of the stroller this would be a perfect way to enjoy the parade. Thanks for the opportunity and hope you have a great holiday with your family!
Just in case the person who wins doesn’t respond! 🙂
We’ve always wanted to see the boats in Newport! My boys are the perfect age for this too!! 🙂
You always have the best give a ways! This site has been a blessing to my family. I am constantly visiting this page for free or inexpensive day trips. Money is tight, and with a family of six any extra help we can get is appreciated! lol
