Enjoy twinkling lights overlooking the ocean at Shore Acres State Park in Oregon this holiday season.

A quarter million lights will be strung at the beautiful botanical gardens. About 50,000 attend the event every year.

The display starts Thanksgiving night and goes on through New Year’s Eve, every evening from 4pm-10pm. The event itself is free but if you park in the park it'll cost you $3.

You can get more details about the event at ShoreAcres.net.

While in the Coos Bay/ North Bend/ Charleston area of Oregon, stop by the Charleston Volunteer Fire Station to see their miniature train display. There are over 200 miniatures representing Coos County.

For even more Christmas events such as Big Band performances, free Christmas Concerts, a Festival of Lights at the Mill Casino, go to oregonsadventurecoast.com.
