Here is a message from MDR Holiday Boat Parade‘s President David Ross.

The 60th Annual Marina del Rey Holiday Boat Parade, presented by Cedars Sinai Marina del Rey Hospital, was an evening to remember.  With our Grand Marshalls Supervisor Holly J Mitchell, David Foster, and Katharine McPhee helped us kick-off the holiday season with the theme, “Sparkle on the Water.”  The harbor was full of fireworks, live bands, dancing, lights, and holiday cheer.
