Newport Lights Dazzel and Brighten the Harbor

The Waterfront Home Decorating Competition starts again giving the Boat Parade decorating competition for Light,  The Ring of Lights competition usually involves 50-60 homes that go all out to light up the skies with Christmas lights and animations to entertain us and give us yet another free evening of enjoyment. They become more and more elaborate every year.
There is even a resident who dons a Christmas Tree outfit, wrapped with lights which are bright from batteries.
Only homes seen from the water are eligible for the Ring of Lights contest. For 101 years the Boat parade has been going on but the people on the boats have not had any other lights to enjoy except other boats until the Ring of Lights contest started. Only in the last couple of decades have the homes on Balboa competed with the Boats with their dazzling lights and other decorations and animations.
The Balboa Bay Club will host a dinner and auction for the winners of the Ring of Lights and the Boat Parade which will be chosen December 14th.
Take the family and enjoy an evening walking around Balboa Island's Perimeter and see the homes and the boats.
