Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens’
Festival of Lights

Between Thanksgiving and Christmas

The annual Festival of Lights illuminates the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens each holiday season, rain or shine, each Friday, Saturday, and Sunday between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Guests can enjoy a festive stroll through imaginative light displays, visit the gift shop, and warm up with hot cocoa, apple cider, and sweet treats available for purchase. Santa makes special Sunday appearances, offering families a dazzling photo opportunity with Ol’ Saint Nick. Advanced tickets are strongly recommended, as this much-loved event tends to sell out. Bundle up and savor the holiday magic at the Festival of Lights.
