The annual celebration, with more than 325,000 lights, kicks off Thanksgiving and runs through New Year’s Eve - Oregon Adventures Coast release - Coos Bay, Ore. – It wouldn’t be the holidays in Oregon without Holiday Lights at Shore Acres State Park, dazzling visitors and sharing the spirit of the season from Thanksgiving through New Year’s Eve.  “A visit to Holiday Lights at Shore Acres State Park is the perfect way to kick off the holidays and celebrate all season long,” said Janice Langlinais, Executive Director of the Coos Bay-North Bend-Charleston Visitor and Convention Bureau, more commonly known as Oregon’s Adventure Coast. “Whether it’s your first time experiencing this amazing display or it’s been a family tradition for years, Holiday Lights at Shore Acres is always a huge holiday hit.”  One of the most unique and dazzling holiday light displays on the Oregon Coast, Holiday Lights at Shore Acres features more than 325,000 lights, 26 Christmas trees and an array of still and animated lighted sculptures. Every year, it draws tens of thousands of visitors from around the state, the country and the world to Shore Acres and its seven acres of botanical gardens.  Because the display is so popular, the Oregon State Parks Department uses a timed parking pass system to help decrease wait times and traffic issues. Slots are available every day at 4:30 p.m., 5:30 p.m., 6:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.  Reservations, available through Oregon State Parks, are for vehicle parking only; visitors in the car do not need tickets.  Half of the available parking spots are available now for daily reservations between November 27 and December 31; the other half are released every morning on a seven-day rolling schedule starting November 20.  Another way to get to the park for the lights this year is via the FREE Santa’s Shuttle from the Charleston Marina to Shore Acres. The shuttle will depart from the marina every 20 minutes between 4:15 p.m. and 8 p.m. on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays plus Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve.
