This event is completely set up and staffed by volunteers. The community is asked to string lights the first Saturday of November (2021 we have moved up the date to October 30th) and take them down the first Saturday in January. Local businesses and organizations staff the event each night. In addition, our sponsor's generous donations keep the lights burning bright!  Please email us for more information about volunteering, download the PDF below about Hosting a night.

Hot Cocoa, Hot Cider and cookies are available at the Snack Shack. Donations are always appreciated. Our entry fee is $3.00 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.
