What:
With more than 105 years of history, the Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade of Lights is viewed by more than 1.6 million people each year.
Since 1908, boat owners in Newport Beach have “decked the hulls” of their vessels and homes for the annual boat parade. It features approximately 250 elaborately decorated boats, with prizes awarded in categories such as Best Lights and Animation and Best Humor and Originality. As the parade moves through the harbor, spectators can view the parade from almost any location on shore for free.
By Dec. 1, thousands of lights illuminate the harbor and hundreds of themed estates over the five nights from the third Wednesday in December to the third Sunday, which fall on Dec.¬¬ 17-21 this year.
Cruises during the holiday nights offer views of all the light displays at bay-front estates and many of the competing ships in the parade.

With a plethora of enticing events ahead—January’s Art Los Angeles Contemporary and The Broad Downtown’s highly anticipated opening are just two on the horizon—Angelenos have countless options when it comes to art-world happenings. Here, five can’t-miss shows for the upcoming months.
Through Feb. 22: Pierre Huyghe at LACMA
Spanning more than 25 years of the French artist’s practice, this exhibition moves beyond Huyghe’s work in film and video to include interactive pieces—a live dog! An ice skating rink!—that blur the line between reality and fiction. 5095 Wilshire Blvd., Beverly Hills, 323.857.6000
Dec. 13-Jan. 31: Jesse Stecklow at M+B Gallery
Encountering Stecklow’s deft manipulation of material and composition in his first solo show, it’s easy to understand why the 21-year-old artist was snatched up by M+B gallery founder Benjamin Trigano while he was still a student at UCLA. 612 N. Almont Drive, L.A., 310.550.0050
