The Umpqua Valley's Favorite Holiday Tradition

Welcome to the Umpqua Valley Festival of Lights! Join us at River Forks Park for a magical evening of dazzling lights and holiday cheer. The Umpqua Valley's Favorite Holiday Tradition!

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 32nd annual Umpqua Valley Festival of Lights opens at River Forks Park Sunday, Nov. 24, 2024 and runs through - and includes - the evening of January 1, 2025.

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 World’s Largest Nutcracker and the Dutch Bros Holiday Village, which is returning to its original location at Riverforks Park!

This season, a ticket to the famous drive-through also offers free entry into the Dutch Bros Holiday Village at Helleck Hall - Starting Dec 5th and available Thursday through Sunday with a bonus night Tuesday the 24th, Christmas Eve.

Visitors to the Dutch Bros Holiday Village will enjoy Santa Claus, the Dancing Lights display, updated model railroad, and decorated Christmas trees. Children can write their letters to Santa, and families can purchase refreshments like cider, hot chocolate, and assorted treats while they enjoy the spirit of the holiday season!
