Begun initially as IlluminOcean in 2014, the four large Dana Point resorts began a lovely tradition of fantastic holiday lights in the Dana Point Harbor.Though not the same organization this year, the light are still fantastic and a lovely way to get yourself in the holiday ho-ho-ho spirit. Titled Happy harbor Days, you will see plenty of marine mammals, palm trees, giant candy canes and more (be sure to look up when you walk through the “tunnel of lights” near Wind and Sea.)
A huge event for families, expect to see a lot of strollers and excited kids. It’s free parking and free to stroll, but merchants and restaurants love your support, too.
