Running from November 15 to January 3, Newport Beach transforms into a winter wonderland with holiday happenings, stunning light displays, festive dining, and more!

'Tis the season to make unforgettable memories in Newport Beach as Visit Newport Beach unveils the second annual '50 Days of Festive Fun' holiday campaign, one of the nation's longest-running destination-wide holiday celebrations. Starting online this week and running for fifty days from November 15, 2024, to January 3, 2025, Newport Beach invites guests to experience a coastal Christmas unlike any other. With dazzling light displays, a flurry of holiday happenings, resorts decorated to the nines, delightful winter dining and shopping galore, Newport Beach has created a magical atmosphere for both locals and visitors alike. The crown jewel of the season, the iconic Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade, will sail into its 116th year with a theme of "Christmas Across the Decades," promising nostalgia and holiday magic on opening night with filmmaker and executive producer of The O.C., McG, as its Grand Marshal. Newport Beach is once again ready to welcome families, couples, and holiday enthusiasts to the most festive coastal destination in America!

Get into the holiday spirit on Friday, November 22, with a spectacular tree-lighting event at Fashion Island featuring live entertainment, festive music, and a visit from Santa Claus to kick off this magical season. Throughout the '50 Days of Festive Fun,' visitors can enjoy activities including the beloved Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade, the Ring of Lights Home Decorating Competition, Nights of 1,000 Lights at Sherman Library & Gardens, and a festive Christmas boutique at Roger's Gardens. For those who love a winter adventure, an igloo bar and fire dancing at the Newport Dunes Fire & Lights Festival will add an extra sparkle to the season. Visit Newport Beach has also teamed up with local attractions, restaurants, and hotels to offer exclusive holiday-themed packages and special deals to entice visitors to extend their stay and immerse themselves in the festivities.

This year, the Newport Beach holiday trail returns, inviting you to explore the most beautifully decorated spots in town, with each mapped out for a festive holiday journey and can be viewed here.
