Photos: Holidays Light Up Balboa Bay Club & Resort

It's a joyous time of year at the Balboa Bay Club & Resort in Newport Beach.

This week families and community members watched as the resort lit up its gigantic Christmas tree with lights, decor, holiday music and Santa Claus.

But the festivities aren't finished just yet.

"We enjoy making special family memories and traditions happen year after year for our guests,” Dieter Hissin, the resort's general manager, said.

The community is invited to watch the 104th Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade at the Balboa Bay Club & Resort. Reservations can be made to watch the parade from the resort's First Cabin Restaurant, at Duke's Place or at the outdoor barbecue.
