Newport's harbor lights up as decorated boats process across the water in a festive Parade of Boats. Watch the vessels glow and shine, enjoy the community spirit, and take in the maritime magic of the central Oregon coast.
It's a beautiful celebration of Newport's proud seafaring heart. The historic bayfront — with its fishing boats, sea lions, and seafood markets — makes a lively spot to take it all in. Round out the visit with the Oregon Coast Aquarium and the beaches at Nye Beach for a perfect coastal weekend.
