Lighting of the Bay - Newport Dunes Waterfront Resort

Join us for the opening night celebration for Lighting of the Bay and the Fire and Lights Festival on Friday, November 27! We will have holiday crafts, festive food and concessions, photos with Santa, a holiday movie on the beach, and other fun activities for the whole family! Around 6 pm, Santa will flip the switch to turn on the 36th Annual Lighting of the Bay. The serene, waveless bay will transform into a vibrant winter wonderland featuring more than fifty holiday light displays floating on the bay. Free entry. Parking will be a flat $15 on opening night. While you are here, pay a visit to Santa’s Garden, a Holiday Tree Lot that offers 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.
