Spectators can also take in the parade at plenty of waterfront spots: harbor-view restaurants host parties, private groups rent spaces overlooking the water, and hundreds of onlookers brave the cold to watch from DiMillo’s Marina and the Maine State Pier.

The Portland Harbor Christmas Boat Parade of Lights sets sail on December 17 at 4:30 p.m. Watch from all across the Portland waterfront!
