Festival of Lights ............................
Bandon was one of the first communities along the Oregon coast to wrap itself in a 
blanket of glittering lights at Christmastime. The warmth of Christmas glistens 
all over town when Bandon celebrates its annual Festival of Lights, and people come 
from near and far to enjoy the lights and the friendly atmosphere in the local shops. 
The festival, sponsored by the Bandon Chamber of Commerce, usually kicks off around the 
first weekend in December, with most of the decorations remaining up through New Year’s Day. 
Thousands upon thousands of lights decorate many buildings in town, buggy rides are offered 
through Old Town, carolers from the high school or church choirs serenade shoppers and 
hot cider and cookies are given out on the opening weekend.  The boat basin and lighthouse 
glow with decorations. 
And the festival is definitely not limited to the business community. Many homes, 
both in the city and in the rural areas, are aglow with thousands of lights. 
Homeowners try to outdo themselves, and their neighbors, with the grandest of displays. 
Bandon’s volunteer fire department strings hundreds of lights to outline the lighthouse, 
making it glow from across the river at night. 
Shops throughout Bandon offer unique gift items and nearly every merchant provides gift 
wrapping free. 
A warm, old-fashioned, community feeling with plenty of Christmas cheer makes the 
Festival of Lights one of Bandon’s most inviting events.
