The larger parking lot located on North Bank Rd offers the best parking opportunity. There are two smaller parking lots located on Old County Rd. All lots have ADA parking. There is overflow parking on Lundeen and the surrounding residential streets. Please see our PARKING MAP. 

We do not provide wheelchairs. There are paved walkways throughout the park with benches in various locations. Both restroom facilities are ADA accessible. 

Extreme weather is always an issue on the coast during December. Storms  can impact our opening for a night or force us to close early.  We follow  weather.com for the Brookings Harbor area (zip code 97415). We post on  our Facebook page by 3pm if we know the weather will not permit an  opening. If the  weather turns for the worse after we open, we will close  early and  again post on Facebook. We suggest you plan your visits  accordingly.   

Santa and Mrs. Claus visit each year before before Christmas Day on Friday and Saturday nights from 6-8pm. They are stationed in the Santa House next to the restrooms. Please bring your own cameras/cell phones for photos. Please follow Facebook for up to the minute information.

Hot Cocoa, Hot Cider and cookies are available at the Snack Shack. Donations are always appreciated. Our entry fee is $4.00 for adults and kids under 12 are free! Children under 16 must be with an adult.

 There is always a variety of holiday music played at the light show. Many songs are synced with our Mega Tree Lights show.

We hold the event in a public park where dogs are allowed on leash.  However, with the darkness, busy pathways and unfamiliar surroundings  things can happen. Leashes wrapped around legs, a cookie snatched from a  small child's hand or aggressive barking are all possible. We love dogs  but are always concerned for them. We ask that caution be exercised and  perhaps your pup would do better in the car or left at home. Nature's  Coastal Holiday cannot be held accountable for what can happen.
