Holiday boat lights glow under the London Bridge
Watch decorated boats cruise the channel in a glowing holiday procession—prime viewing near the London Bridge and waterfront walkways.
Event details
The Bridgewater Channel comes alive with holiday magic during the Lake Havasu Boat Parade of Lights, when decorated boats drift past the London Bridge in a twinkling procession that reflects off calm evening water. You’ll watch creative displays ranging from simple string lights to elaborate themed scenes, with families and boating clubs competing for best decoration honors. The parade typically runs one evening in early December, starting after sunset and lasting about an hour.
Arrive early to claim your viewing spot along the waterfront walking path near the English Village, where you’ll have unobstructed views of the parade route and easy access to nearby restaurants for pre-parade dinner or post-parade hot chocolate. Bring blankets and warm layers since desert nights cool into the 40s in December, and consider packing camp chairs for comfortable viewing. The parade route is clearly marked, and boats typically make a single pass, so position yourself where you can see the approach and departure for the full experience.
Make it a full holiday weekend by staying in a Lake.com rental along the channel, where you can enjoy daytime shopping in the English Village, afternoon beach walks, and evening parade views all from the same waterfront location. The festive atmosphere extends beyond the parade itself, with many local businesses offering holiday decorations and special menus throughout December.
