Oregon in the fall is pumpkin patches all up and down the valley and a regatta where people paddle giant pumpkins, and at Christmas it's ZooLights and Peacock Lane and the lights out on the cliffs at Shore Acres. The hard part is finding it all, because the big stuff is on one site and the town stuff is buried on a city calendar and the good light shows sell out. So I'm putting it all in one place, area by area, and you can tap what you want and put it straight on your bucket list.
All six Oregon areas are up now, and I keep adding to them all season. Last updated September 29, 2026.
Most of the Willamette Valley and Portland peak in mid to late October, and the Columbia Gorge and Silver Falls are usually best around then too.
ZooLights and Peacock Lane in Portland, the Silverton Christmas Market at the Oregon Garden, Holiday Lights at Shore Acres on the coast and Ashland's Festival of Light.
Sunday, October 18, 2026 in Tualatin, 10 to 4, and it's free.
My Into the Twilight guide has a whole chapter on the Oregon filming locations, plus Forks and the Washington spots, so you can plan the Oregon part right along with your fall list.
Tap the events you want on any area page and they land in the slots of whichever fall design you pick. Add your own stuff, then it prints big and hangs on the wall all season.
