About this event
Open November 27, 2026 – January 3, 2027!
Join us throughout the holiday season for the Fire and Lights Festival at Newport Dunes! In addition to our 36th Annual Lighting of the Bay, we will have festive concessions, photos with Santa, fire dancer performances, Inflatables & toboggan tunnel, fire pits, and other fun activities for the whole family Thursday through Sunday evenings! Every night at dusk, our serene, waveless bay will transform into a vibrant winter wonderland featuring more than fifty holiday light displays floating on the bay.
While you are here, pay a visit to Santa’s Garden offering a hand-picked selection of farm-fresh trees from Oregon. Varieties include Noble, Nordmann, Natural, and Douglas. The lot receives weekly deliveries of fresh trees. Wreaths and garlands, too.
