Event Highlights

 

 

Santa Paddle

Join Santa as he trades his sleigh for a paddle board!  Visitors can rent a kayak, stand-up paddle board, or festive pedal boat from Ventura Boat Rentals (C Dock, below Brophy Bros. and On the Alley). Dress in your most festive holiday attire – Santa costumes, elves, reindeer, or anything that spreads holiday cheer! The best dressed Santa will win a prize! The group photo on the water will be followed by a procession led by Santa through the marina to the Channel Islands National Park Visitors Center and back. Paddlers are encouraged to bring a new, unwrapped toy donation to support the Spark of Love Toy Drive.

 

Spark of Love Toy Drive Collaboration

Ventura Harbor Village is proud to partner with the Ventura County Fire Departments and ABC7 for the 32nd year of the Spark of Love Toy Drive, the nation’s largest community toy drive. Bring new, unwrapped toys and sports equipment to the bins on the promenade, just above Ventura Boat Rentals, to help spread holiday joy to underserved children and teens in Ventura County. When you drop off a donation, you will get a free pair of reindeer antlers! Click here for more info>
