The Holiday Boat Parade is a tried-and-true tradition of the Venice Canals held in December to celebrate the holidays. The Venice Canals Holiday Boat Parade is a showcase of the unique community, coming together to honor our wonderful neighborhood.

From Santa Monica Close Up:

"On Veterans Day, Monday, November 11, 2024, the Santa Monica Pier hosted its fifth annual Veterans Day ceremony, marking the event's most significant year yet. The free, public event, conducted in collaboration with the U.S. Army, drew crowds to celebrate and honor the nation’s veterans."

Santa Monica Close Up is a photo blog by Santa Monica based Photojournalist/Press photographer Fabian Lewkowicz. Fabian is the former staff photographer for the Santa Monica Daily Observer Press, Santa Monica Mirror, Santa Monica and the Santa Monica Corsair.

"Today on Venice Beach was the epic Afterburn Party from the famous Burning Man in the desert. Live music techno, crazy lights, just a total party environment. We also see the electric light parade, rollerskate parade, and just total craziness in Venice Beach. Just another beautiful day in paradise."

The Festival of the Chariots, also known as Ratha-yatra, or “cart-festival”, originates from an ancient tradition in India. It commemorates a joyous celebration of life and glorification of God. The ancient annual Ratha-yatra parade in Jagannatha Puri, India, attracts one million people every year.

The tradition was brought to the West in 1967 by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Today it is celebrated in most major cities of the world, including London, Moscow, Toronto, Johannesburg, Delhi and New York.

The local Los Angeles version attracts approximately 40,000 parade and festival participants. Every year on the first Sunday morning of August onlookers are surprised by the procession of three glittering red, blue and gold, ancient style, east-Indian chariots traveling slowly through Santa Monica and Venice. The chariots do not move by motor. They are hand pulled by the spectators.
