Holiday Traditions


This is probably my favorite thing about Christmas time in Santa Barbara: The annual Boat Parade! Every year boats from the harbor adorn their vessels with lights and are paraded around Stearn's Warf by the Harbor patrol. This year's theme was "Surfin' in the Holidays." The parade begins just after dark and lasts for a little over an hour. Hot Chocolate, Hot Cider, and warm cookies are available as nourishment and to warm our insides. The boats this year were much better than last years. There were plenty of snowmen and Santa's on surfboards. It was a good night and the fireworks were awesome.
