The Coast Guard will close a California bay for a boat parade
What happened
The Coast Guard will temporarily close parts of Mission Bay, California, on December 13, 2025. This closure is for the annual Mission Bay Parade of Lights, to keep participants and other boaters safe.
Why it matters
This is a routine, temporary closure for a local event. It means that for a few hours on one day, boaters in Mission Bay will need to avoid a specific area or get permission to enter it. This kind of regulation is common for public events on waterways.
The signal
There is no specific future event to watch; these regulations are standard for local marine parades.
