During the past weekend a dazzling nautical parade took place in the bay of Cabo San Lucas. Tourist boats, yachts, sailboats, pangas and even a Mexican Navy vessel, were all illuminated with Christmas lights and motifs prior to navigating by El Medano Beach in the bay of Cabo San Lucas.

Guillermo Rivelino, Organizing Committee: “… this year 30 boats participated in the parade. At this moment they are parading in the area in front of Médano Beach and are about to head back to the Cabo San Lucas marina, it’s an extraordinary festivity that’s going on… ”

Hundreds of local families and tourists gathered at the entrance of the marina and the beach looking for the best place to enjoy this unusual and special Christmas parade.

Selene Molina, spectator: "... we came to enjoy this Nautical Christmas Parade with friends and family...."

Engelberto Tirado, spectator: “… I believe it's the second time it's been done here in Los Cabos. I hope it becomes an annual tradition for families that live here in Los Cabos, because the boats are incredible, truly, the Christmas lights they all have on brings on the Christmas spirit… ”

During the high season thousands of national and foreign families of tourists visit Los Cabos and take this opportunity to enjoy the unexpected display of Christmas Spirit.
