Depoe Bay Lights: Coastal Charm at Its Best

Every evening starting at 4:30 p.m., Depoe Bay glows with holiday spirit. Stroll down Coast Avenue to soak in the twinkling lights or park your car and tune in to 92.1 FM for synchronized holiday music that makes the display even more enchanting.

The display runs until 9:30 p.m. on weeknights and 10:30 p.m. on weekends, giving you plenty of time to savor the beauty and joy of the season. It’s the perfect blend of coastal charm and holiday cheer, a combination that makes Depoe Bay a must-visit destination this December.
