Fire & Lights Festival at Newport Dunes
- see all dates
Except December 25, 2024, January 1, 2025.
Newport Dunes Waterfront Resort's Fire & Lights Festival turns bayside oasis into a winter wonderland with festive lights and views of the nightly Lighting of the Bay. Over fifty lit holiday decorations and Christmas trees float on the serene, waveless bay.
Note: there is no ice rink this year.
Along the shore, fire pits are available for s'mores roasting. On Friday and Sunday evenings, fire dancers add some heat to the occasion. The whole family can have fun on winter-themed inflatables including a giant slide and snow maze; the Igloo Cocktail Bar serves both hot toddies and cool drinks. Holiday trees can be purchased at Santa's Garden tree lot starting November 25.
Santa Claus is available for photos opening night and every Saturday until Christmas.
The Fire & Ice Festival is free admission and open to the public.Concessions and holiday trees available for purchase
