The 41st Annual Belmont Shore Christmas Parade on Saturday, December 6th 2025 from 6pm-9pm
One of the biggest parades of the year in Long Beach takes place yearly on the first Saturday in December. Families line up along 2nd Street for a seat or best viewing of the night-time event that includes Santa Claus, plenty of elves, and colorful bands, costumes, floats and surprises.
Over a dozen local marching bands, 100 entries, floats designed by Long Beach businesses and associations, marching bands, and local personalities and dignitaries, all make this the hometown favorite to get you in the holiday spirit. Belmont Shore loves the holidays and is adorned with light pole banners with festive holiday symbols and sentiments.
No Christmas Parade would be complete without an appearance by St. Nick! Entries return to Livingston Avenue heading west along the north side of East Second Street.

The Naples Boat Parade features holiday-decorated boats and watercraft winding their way through the romantic canals of Naples Island in Long Beach. Everyone loves the boat parade because it offers the excitement and festive decorations in the water below, but holiday cheer also emanates in the brightly and creatively decorated homes all along the canals.
The theme for 2025's boat parade and holiday decor contest is: A Tropical Winter Wonderland
The best places to view the parade are bridges and waterfronts along the canals around Naples Island (ex. 2nd Street Bridge, Appian Way Bridge, and Alamitos Bay Marina).
