2018 Parade of Lights Boat Parade in San Diego Bay (12/16/18) (4K)

In case you missed it, here is a complete video of all the boats in this year's boat parade.
The San Diego Bay Parade of Lights is a time-honored holiday tradition brought to San Diego by the boating community. Continuing its long-standing San Diego tradition, the 47th annual San Diego Bay Parade of Lights promises to dazzle and entertain bayfront crowds during the evenings of December 9 and 16, 2018. Participants in this year’s highly anticipated holiday boat parade will decorate their boats to fit this year’s theme, Tropical Island Christmas.
Presented by the Port of San Diego, the San Diego Bay Parade of Lights brings more than 100,000 San Diego residents and visitors to the shores of San Diego Bay each year. The procession of approximately 80 lavishly decorated boats has become one of the most iconic events in the region. There is no cost to view the parade.
This year, for the 3rd time, the parade will proceed to the pier at Cesar Chavez Park before making the turn to Coronado, giving spectators another area to view the parade.The procession will start at 5:00 p.m. and will follow the predetermined parade route. Whether a participant or spectator, the Parade of Lights is a festive and delightful experience for all!

This was shot from Harbor Island. The whole shore was lined with people watching the parade of boats. Parking is a lot less of a hassle now that there is a big public parking lot across from the Sheraton.
This video was shot with a Canon 70D DSLR camera.
Below are the drone and 2 cameras I use to make my videos.
DJI Mavic Pro drone bundle- bit.do/epi6s
Nikon COOLPIX P900 camera- bit.do/epi6q
Panasonic DMC-TS30A LUMIX underwater camera- bit.do/epi6M
Thanks for watching.

Our boat was the Alo-Ho-Ho boat at the 12:41 mark in the video. Thanks for a great video of our boat and the entire parade. This was our first time doing it, and we look forward to participating in more years to come.
