Washington in the fall is a corn maze shaped like the whole state and apple farms and Oktoberfest in a Bavarian mountain town, and at Christmas it's that same town covered in lights, plus the zoo lights and the lit up tractor parades. 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 Washington areas are up now, and I keep adding to them all season. Last updated September 29, 2026.
The Village of Lights starts November 27, 2026, and it's free to walk through town and see them.
The Village of Lights in Leavenworth, WildLanterns at Woodland Park Zoo, Zoolights at Point Defiance in Tacoma and the 7 Cedars display in Blyn.
October 2 and 3, 9 and 10, and 16 and 17, 2026.
My Into the Twilight guide is twelve chapters from our trip out to Forks, with all the Washington filming locations, so you can plan that 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.
