Holiday boat parade returns as Lake Casa Blanca water level rises

Fiesta de Luz, a Christmas boat parade, will return to Lake Casa Blanca on Dec. 12 after recent rain raised the lake’s water level. The park says up to 20 boats can take part, with no entry fee; visitors pay the usual park admission. The lake is now more than 18 feet deep at its deepest point, and all three boat ramps are usable, though floating debris remains a hazard.
