Newport Beach offers wonderful special events throughout the year. Make plans to stay at the NEWPORT CHANNEL INN to enjoy some of the following events…

Newport Harbor Christmas Boat Parade of Lights: You will be truly wowed at the sight of over 200 lighted and elaborately decorated boats parading through Newport Harbor, every evening from December 12 through December 16, all competing for the Sweepstakes award. Spectacularly lit homes lining the bay also compete for awards. The NEWPORT CHANNEL INN Staff are happy to share their favorite viewing spots, or help our Guests arrange a boat cruise to see the parade from the water. Be advised that window tables at bayside restaurants must be reserved weeks ahead of time. Be sure to reserve your room at the NEWPORT CHANNEL INN well ahead of time too.

Whale Watching Trips: See the migrating California Gray Whales from the deck of a tour boat, any day during January, February and March. Spotter airplanes are sent out ahead of the boats so the boat captains know just where to go to find these magnificent animals. Discounts are available for NEWPORT CHANNEL INN Guests.
