Discover the Magic: Holidays Along Oregon’s Coast
Introduction
On Oregon's pristine coast, the holiday season is uniquely enchanting. Instead of the typical celebrations, you’ll find captivating wine events, Lewis & Clark commemorations, and a dazzling display of lights and festivities.
An Unexpected Holiday Experience
Sometimes, the best holiday celebrations are hidden gems. On Oregon's coast, the weather defies its stormy reputation with unexpectedly warm and dry days. But the true allure lies in the unique holiday events along this scenic shoreline.
A Tribute to Lewis & Clark
In northern Oregon, the holiday season kicks off with a major wine event and a nod to Lewis & Clark. On November 7, we commemorate 200 years since William Clark exclaimed, "Ocian in view! O! the Joy!" mistaking a vast bay for the Pacific Ocean. From November 11, the Lewis & Clark Bicentennial begins at Fort Stevens with the "Opening Ceremony - Lewis & Clark Veteran's Day Commemoration," featuring local tribes and performances by Katie Harmon, a former Miss America.
Exploring Historic Trails
On November 14, the Fort To Sea Trail dedication at Fort Clatsop marks the path from the crew's winter quarters to Seaside's beaches. Despite a recent fire, the Fort Clatsop visitor center remains central to winter events, including a living history program on December 25 and a celebration in Cannon Beach on January 7, honoring Clark’s journey to see a beached whale.
Seaside's Festive Spirit
Seaside, known for its broad beaches and charming Broadway Ave., will host the "Corps of Discovery II" exhibit from November 19-22, featuring multimedia programs in a mobile auditorium. On November 19, the annual Seaside Downtown Wine Walk invites visitors to explore downtown while enjoying Northwest wines.
By late November, Seaside comes alive with "Yuletide at Seaside," a town-wide display of lights. Highlights include a Holiday Gift Fair, Caroling & Lighted Float Parade, and a Children’s Christmas Party. For details, call 800-394-3303 or visit www.seasideor.com.
An Enchanting Stay at St. Bernard’s Bed & Breakfast
Just 15 miles south of Seaside, St. Bernard’s Bed & Breakfast offers unique holiday experiences. Resembling a blend of medieval and Swiss architecture, this romantic getaway features gourmet breakfasts crafted by owner Barbara Dau. Thanksgiving offers an exclusive dinner with fine wines, and New Year’s Eve brings a six-course global culinary journey, concluding with a beach bonfire.

Newport’s Coastal Charm
In Newport, two historic lighthouses illuminate a holiday wonderland. The Bayfront dazzles with lights, while Nye Beach offers old-world charm with cobblestone streets.
