San Diego Bay will be closed for two days in December for a boat parade

The Coast Guard will close parts of San Diego Bay on two days in December. This means boats cannot anchor, block, or loiter in specific areas during the annual Parade of Lights.

Every year, local authorities issue temporary rules for events like parades or races. These small, routine closures are how the Coast Guard manages public safety on busy waterways. They prevent accidents by clearly defining where boats can and cannot go during a scheduled event.
