Staff report

Another year of the Dana Point Harbor Boat Parade of Lights brings with it another round of winners.

A total of 65 judges picked their favorite entries from the 46th annual parade, which saw festive boats decked out in lights and holiday decorations jaunt along the harbor from Dec. 10-12. This year’s theme was the Fiesta Boat Parade of Lights.

Judge scores were added up and tallied over the three-night event and boats with highest scores in each category were awarded prizes, said Kelly Rinderknecht, general manager for The Marina at Dana Point.

“Judges included local dignitaries (DP Mayor, DP City Council, Visit DP, City of DP, 5th District Supervisor reps, harbor merchants, stakeholders and boaters),” Rinderknecht said in an email. “Judges viewed from the ‘Judge Float’ on the main channel and were provided a sheet with multiple categories where they judged each vessel by giving them a number in each category (1-5 with 5 being the best).”

People’s Choice was voted on by the public through Dana Point Harbor’s social media platforms, while the Mayor’s Cup was selected by Dana Point Mayor Joe Muller. The Supervisor’s Cup was selected by Orange County 5th District Supervisor, Lisa Bartlett, and her team.
