The Festival of Lights has become an annual tradition in Douglas County, drawing 25,000 visitors per year and generating thousands of dollars for Rotary Club scholarships and service projects.
The 31st annual Umpqua Valley Festival of Lights opens at River Forks Park Nov. 19, 2023 and runs through January 1, 2024.
Launched by the Roseburg Rotary Club in 1993, the Festival continues to feature more than a half-million lights and over 90 displays at Riverforks Park, west of Roseburg.
For just $10 per car, visitors enjoy all the traditional attractions that have made the Festival famous – including the newly refurbished World’s Largest Nutcracker and the Dutch Bros Holiday Village.
This season, a ticket to the famous drive-through also offers free entry into the Dutch Bros Holiday Village at Riversdale Grange – 4855 Garden Valley Road – November 28 through Christmas Eve.
Visitors to the Dutch Bros Holiday Village will enjoy Santa Claus, their favorite characters, the model railroad, Santa collection, and decorated Christmas trees. Children can write their letters to Santa, and families can purchase refreshments like cider, hot chocolate, and freshly baked treats while they enjoy the spirit of the holiday season!
Several special nights are scheduled throughout the season, allowing thousands of people to see the attractions for free through special offers from our generous sponsors.
