Hang Ten with Santa

Do you have a holiday wish list? Santa likes to visit the Big Bay too. Deliver it to Santa in person at Seaport Village on Saturday, November 28. To celebrate the holidays, the bayside shopping destination transforms into a warm-weather wonderland. Santa will make his stylish arrival at 1:00 p.m. on the boardwalk near Pier Café, and then will be available for pictures on his surfboard and wave until 4:00 p.m.

Yo Ho Ho, It’s Captain Santa

Can Santa’s sled float on water? You can check it out for yourself by watching the 38th Annual San Diego Bay Parade of Lights presented by the Port of San Diego on Sunday evenings, December 13 and 20 from 5:30 to 9:00 p.m. This year’s theme is “Christmas at the Zoo.” You’re sure to see Santa and his reindeer there.


Fireworks kick off the festivities at 5:30 p.m., followed by the parade, which takes approximately 90 minutes to pass any given point along the route. The approximate arrival time of the parade at various locations is:
•    Shelter Island — 5:30 p.m.
•    Harbor Island — 6:00 p.m.
•    The Embarcadero — 6:30 p.m.
•    Seaport Village — 7:00 p.m.
•    Ferry Landing on Coronado — 7:30 p.m.
You won’t need a pirate’s treasure to enjoy this Big Bay event. The fireworks display and parade are free.
