The 46th annual Ocean Beach Holiday Parade headed west down Newport Avenue last Dec. 6 with a “Galactic Holiday Beach Bash” theme, bringing out all things aliens, spaceships, and cosmic holiday fun throughout the 106 floats.
The parade, put on by the Ocean Beach Community Foundation in partnership with Love Thy Neighborhood, was the biggest in its long history.

The Ocean Beach Hotel’s ‘Woody’ surf van is always a favorite at the Ocean Beach Holiday Parade.
