The holiday season is a magical time in Albany and Corvallis, with plenty of fun and festive local events to help your family celebrate the season. During this time of year, some of our favorite destinations and parks turn into winter wonderlands. Our real estate agents have more on the best light displays and events around Albany for the 2025 holiday season.
First up is an event that kids and parents are sure to love, with the return of Christmas Storybook Land at the Linn County Expo. Experience nursery rhymes, holiday movies, and fairy tales brought to life through dazzling displays in a magical indoor forest. The event also features holiday performances and fun, themed days, such as Star Wars Day. This year's Christmas Storybook Land will be open from November 29 – December 21, 2025, with extended hours on weekends.
The Albany Christmas Lights Trail will take you on an enchanting journey through the community to discover beautiful holiday light installations at a variety of unique locations around Albany. Each year, the City of Albany posts a map of where to find the lights, which are often at points of interest around the city. The trail is typically open every year from late November through early January, with the lights starting every night at sundown. You can find this year's map and dates at the link above, when they're announced.
For decades, the famous Pastega Christmas Lights were hosted in Corvallis, but the event moved to a new location at the Linn County Expo in Albany for the 2024 holiday season. That new location remains in place for 2025, but you can still expect one of Oregon's best holiday light displays just like always. The cool thing about the new location is that the Pastega Christmas Lights are hosted in conjunction with Christmas Storybook Land, so that you can enjoy both great attractions in one convenient location. The display will be open from November 29 – December 21, 2025.
Holiday light displays aren't just for big, public locations in Oregon communities. You'll also find homes where families have been creating dazzling displays for many years, like the Cascade Christmas Lights, which attract visitors from across the region. Stop by from Thanksgiving Weekend through all of December to see the new features and music for this year's display.
Our final event features a little something for everyone, with Holidays in the Park in Lebanon on December 6, 2025. Hosted at Ralston Park, this event features a variety of activities, starting with a holiday market where you can shop for gifts and enjoy festive holiday treats. There will be live entertainment throughout the day, meetings with Santa, and a Christmas tree lighting, leading up to the Twilight Parade, which caps off the event.
