Each winter the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens transforms into a spectacular show of glittering color. The 12th annual Festival of Lights will run rain or shine each Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evening from November 25 through December 18. We can't wait to share more festive cheer and inventive light displays with you!

MCBG staff and volunteers have already begun prepping for the event… countless hours spent stringing thousands of twinkling lights. This year there will be no tented area, but our gift shop will be open and there will be hot cocoa, apple cider, and sweets available at the FOG Holiday Cafe (cash only).

Bundle up and enjoy the imaginative displays created by our staff and volunteers during this year's Festival of Lights!
