Dana Point Harbor celebrated the holidays over two weekends with the 43rd Annual Dana Point Harbor Boat Parade of Lights on Dec. 8, 9, 15, 16. This year’s theme was “A Super Hero Holiday”. A press release from the Dana Point Harbor Association, announcing the winners, said “The boater’s interpretations of Super Heroes included not only the comic book heroes of yesterday, but also the new heroes of today like Paw Patrol and Justice League as well as everyday heroes including military and first respondents. The theme showcased boats with spectacular displays of super Santa and rudolph as the original holiday hero. Boaters also decorated their boats with themes from the comics including Batman, Spiderman, Capt. America, and the Justice League, as well as local Military and First Respondents.“
