Happy Holidays From Susan Allen & Associates!

At the Holiday Season, my thoughts turn gratefully to those who have made my progress possible. THANK YOU & BEST WISHES FOR THE HOLIDAYS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

48th Annual Marina del Rey Holiday Boat Parade

If you are looking for a way to celebrate the holidays with you family this year, check out the 48^th annual Marina del Rey Holiday Boat Parade.

Time-honored traditions of the holidays do not always apply here on the west coast. Snowball fights, snowmen and sleigh rides are hard to find with the ever-warm climate of California. The community of Marina del Rey doesn’t let that stop the holiday cheer. With their annual boat parade, participants put a Pacific spin on the traditions of Christmas.

The annual Marina del Rey Holiday Boat Parade will be held on Saturday evening, December 11th.

Saturday, December 11th    RAIN OR SHINE!

The theme for this year's boat parade is:

A Rock and Roll Christmas

Here are some photos from last years parade
