"Against The Current," is a short film documenting the artistic process of the legendary Skateboarder and Filmmaker, Stacy Peralta. Made in conjunction with his art show debuting at CCC gallery this fall and directed by Dana Shaw, it’s not just a love letter to a life of skateboarding but a celebration of the spirit of creativity and commitment.

Stacy shares his various inspirations from childhood to present day, and the challenges and lessons learned while working to develop this new visual language in his iterations of these tools of joy from the past.

The work also explores his temporal and obsessive relationship to the skateboard collection that intrinsically holds the memories of those ephemeral halcyon days. As well as the decay and degradation that entropy and time have on our prized possessions, and even ourselves.

The Holiday Boat Parade in Marina del Rey is held every year on the second Saturday in December.

Our theme this year is “A Margaritaville Holiday” celebrating the joyful legacy of the legendary singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett. The parade begins with a spectacular lightshow display. Boat participants come up with their own ideas and decorate their boats with lots of holiday lights and decorations with our theme as their guide. They also wear costumes, dance, sing, have live bands or play music. Both boaters and spectators enjoy themselves immensely.



We look forward to seeing you at our 62nd Annual Marina del Rey Holiday Boat Parade on Saturday, December 14, 2024!
