SUMMARY:Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade
DESCRIPTION:The Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade is proof that you don't
  need snowfall to create a shimmering winter wonderland during the holiday
 s. Started in 1908 by an Italian gondolier and one of the developers of Ba
 lboa Island \, the first Newport Beach parade featured a gondola and eight
  canoes adorned with Japanese lanterns. More than a century later\, the Or
 ange County event has gotten considerably more impressive. What to Expect 
 at the Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade It's a simple as it is dazzling
 : Local boat owners lavishly decorate their vessels\, then join in a color
 ful floating parade for five consecutive nights through the enormous Newpo
 rt Harbor . Anything that floats is welcome to join-attendees are guarante
 ed to see a fabulously decorated mix of billionaire's yachts\, luxury sail
 boats\, day cruisers\, and\, to this day\, even decorated canoes and kayak
 s. For those watching from the shore\, in about 15 minutes\, sometimes mor
 e than 200 ships will glide by\; prizes are awarded for categories such as
  best lights and animation\, best music\, and best humor and originality. 
 Another part of the festivities is the "Ring of Lights" competition. Bayfr
 ont businesses and privately owned estates\, docks\, and yards are decked 
 out in holiday cheer\, all vying for a prize and creating a "ring of light
 s" around Newport Bay that is truly a sight to behold. Where Are the Best 
 Viewing Locations? You can watch the Newport Beach boat parade at public a
 ccess areas along the harbor \; other prime viewing spots include the Balb
 oa Fun Zone \, Balboa Village \, and " Dine and Watch " restaurants such a
 s Harborside Restaurant and The Rusty Pelican . You can even view the para
 de from a boat that's featured in the festivities-that way\, you can see a
 ll the boats and all the gussied-up properties along the shore. Newport La
 nding offers Boat Parade Cruises that run three times a night during the f
 estivities. Can't make it during the parade dates? Throughout December\, e
 vening cruises typically run along the shoreline\, where you can still see
  plenty of illuminated homes and boats.

SUMMARY:California Avocado Festival
DESCRIPTION:The first avocado trees in California were planted around 1871\
 , and today the state grows a whopping 90 percent of the crop harvested in
  the U.S. As one of the state's top growing regions\, it makes perfect sen
 se that Carpinteria in Santa Barbara County is home to the California Avoc
 ado Festival \, known simply as Avofest to locals. What Is the California 
 Avocado Festival? Started in 1986\, this October event draws more than 80\
 ,000 fans to sample guacamole\, salad\, soups\, and countless other concoc
 tions all featuring this beloved fruit \\(yes\, it's a fruit\, not a veget
 able\\). Signature events include the largest avocado weigh-offs \\(they s
 ometimes reach more than four pounds\\) and the Avofest Guacamole Contest.
  The winning recipe is made available online at the festival's website. To
  keep things hopping\, the festival includes more than 75 musical acts acr
 oss four stages and remains one of the largest free music festivals in Cal
 ifornia. In past years\, guests could even attend a viewing of the cult cl
 assic film Cannibal Women of the Avocado Jungle of Death hosted by the fes
 tival. The event also offers free doggie day care for pooch-owners that at
 tend.

SUMMARY:Rose Parade and Rose Bowl
DESCRIPTION:The iconic Tournament of Roses in Pasadena is the city's annual
  one-two punch: a parade and a football game. It's California's way of cel
 ebrating the New Year with a twin display of flower power and physical pro
 wess-and there are several ways to take part in one or both events before\
 , during\, and even after January 1. Game tickets usually go on sale in ea
 rly December-and often sell out fast. How to Watch the Rose Bowl Parade in
  Pasadena The parade\, which first started in 1890\, features a rotating t
 rio of spectacles-some of the world's best marching bands interspersed wit
 h equestrian pageants and\, of course\, those colorful flowered floats\, h
 andmade by pasting millions of petals\, seeds\, and other all-natural mate
 rials to create patterns and designs. The parade route moves along 5.5 mil
 es of Pasadena's main roads\, mostly on Colorado Blvd. \\(Fun fact: Colora
 do Blvd. lies along the original path of Route 66 .\\) The parade draws hu
 ge crowds\, with people often camping out the night before to secure prime
  viewing spots along the parade route. If you'd rather not leave it up to 
 chance\, consider purchasing one of the 70\,000 grandstand seats . Insider
  Tips for the Rose Bowl Parade Crowds are pretty tight and the sidewalks w
 ill be packed\, so navigating a stroller or wagon through this dense colle
 ction of onlookers might be very difficult. Wear comfortable shoes and lay
 ers as Pasadena mornings this time of year often start off in the 40s and 
 then heat up fairly quickly \\(the typical high temp is in the 60s\\). Pla
 n your visit around this guide for parking\, mass transit\, and accessibil
 ity options near the route. How to Get a Sneak Peek of the Parade Before J
 an. 1 You also don't have to come for the actual parade to appreciate its 
 best features. In the last days of December\, you can see many of the para
 de preparations and enjoy a "behind the scenes" look at floats and perform
 ers. Bandfest: Where to Watch the Rose Bowl Marching Bands Practice Before
  Showtime Being selected for a Rose Parade appearance is a huge honor for 
 any high school or college marching band. You can watch the bands "warm up
 " before the parade \\(typically Dec. 29 and 30\\) at BandFest \, located 
 at Robinson Stadium at Pasadena College. Equestfest: Where to Watch the Ro
 se Bowl Horses Before the Parade Horses have been a vital part of the Rose
  Parade since it began in 1890. Back then\, it was a way to honor the agri
 cultural diversity of the Golden State. Today\, upwards of 20 equestrian u
 nits from around the nation-from charro teams to rodeo performers-appear i
 n the parade. You can see this year's horses a few days before the parade 
 at EquestFest \, typically held on Dec. 29 at the Los Angeles Equestrian C
 enter in nearby Burbank . Floatfest: Where to See the Floats Up Close Befo
 re and After the Rose Parade Meanwhile\, there's no charge \\(and no crowd
 \\) to watch many of the giant floats being decorated\, petal by petal\, a
 t various locations around Pasadena. Depending on the location\, you can s
 ometimes even volunteer to help decorate a float a few days before the par
 ade. You can also check out the floats up close after the parade: FloatFes
 t showcases all of the masterpieces\, lined up along Sierra Madre and Wash
 ington boulevards for pedestrians to admire during the rest of January 1 a
 nd through January 2. What to Do in the Pasadena Area During the Rose Bowl
  Parade Tackle Kid Space: Located just a short distance from the stadium i
 s the delightful Kid Space Children's Museum . This interactive museum is 
 loaded with things to climb and ride\, and is filled with super fun learni
 ng experiences. There's a tricycle obstacle course\, an indoor mountain yo
 u can climb\, a treehouse\, and a park made entirely out of musical instru
 ments. Tour the 1908 Gamble House: This pristine example of architecture f
 rom the American Arts and Crafts movement offers a vivid look at how peopl
 e lived over 100 years ago. Take a Walk Through the Descanso Gardens "Ench
 anted Forest of Light": This charming holiday experience will still be run
 ning into the new year. Take a stroll through the light fields and interac
 tive art exhibits before it ends for the season. Tour the Rose Bowl Stadiu
 m: On non-game days\, you can tour Rose Bowl Stadium for peeks at the pres
 s box and the original locker room\, which dates back to 1922. Check out o
 ur full guide to this historic stadium. Tour the Tournament House: Aficion
 ados of the annual game and festivities should leave time to take a tour o
 f the Tournament House \, which has served as the headquarters of the Rose
  Bowl and Parade since 1958. Back then the home-then known as the Wrigley 
 Mansion-was given to the city of Pasadena with that purpose in mind. The h
 ouse will be offering a tour on Jan. 2. Where to Eat in Pasadena/Altadena 
 During the Rose Bowl The recently reopened restaurant Betsy was lauded as 
 The Infatuation's "best comeback" restaurant \\(it closed and renamed itse
 lf after the Eaton Fires\\) and has been one of Esquire magazine's best re
 staurants of the year. Chef Paul Downer \\(working alongside owner/chef Ty
 ler Wells\\) cooks just about everything over an open fire. Do not miss th
 e blackened cheesecake and cast iron focaccia\; reservations recommended. 
 Mandarin Coffee is a local staple and top tier coffee shop located inside 
 the gorgeous Burlington Arcade\, an indoor shopping mall built to replicat
 e the historic 1819 London landmark. The shop is so popular they just open
 ed up a second spot\, but get there early\, lines form right at opening. A
 lso worth a stop: sandwiches at Ferrazzani's Pasta & Market \, breakfast b
 urritos at BBAD \\(which stands for breakfast burritos all day\\)\, and ro
 tisserie chicken at Saucy Chick .
