Portland Harbor Parade of Lights

And that’s the best thing about the holiday season — it’s the time of year when, no matter our age, we’re encouraged to seek out moments of magic, to believe in the incredible.

About the Event
Saturday, December 11

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. Luckily, the fireworks finale looks enchanting no matter where you’re standing.

The Portland Harbor Christmas Boat Parade of Lights sets sail on December 11 at 4:45 p.m. Watch from all across the Portland waterfront!
