"My wife has been talking about the Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade for years. So I surprised her last December with tickets to the parade. She was so ecstatic. It totally made her holiday. She wants to make it an annual tradition...and I can't complain. I loved it, too!"
Leslie J. Newport Beach

"It was a wonderful experience for me and my whole family. We couldn't stop smiling. The night was perfect...full of Christmas wonder and feel-good feelings. We can't wait for next year!"
