The holidays are lumen at the aquarium

Weaving holiday lights and displays through the already stunning displays at Oregon Coast Aquarium makes the Sea of Lights one of the coast’s most unique holiday light displays.

The special display happens on the next three Friday and Saturday evenings, beginning this Friday, Dec. 6.

Entry is included with regular paid admission, and free for aquarium members. 

On the first weekend, tickets will be just $5 for those who bring a non-perishable food donation, including pet food, to benefit the Food Share of Lincoln County.

This beloved annual event allows visitors to view aquarium galleries and exhibits in a new light, with each weekend featuring a different attraction.

Santa will be present to pose for photos and listen to wishes the second and third weekend, Dec. 13, 14, 20 and 21. Guests can enjoy live music from the Oregon Coast Recorder Society on Saturday, Dec. 14, and from the Pacific Coast Wind Ensemble on Friday, Dec. 20.

The Sea of Lights will be lit from 5 to 8 pm. For a schedule of events, updates and tickets go to aquarium.org/sea-of-lights.
