The Festival of Lights happens Friday, Saturday, and Sunday November 29 — December 22 at the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens. Advance tickets are strongly recommended to ensure availability and to help us keep a good flow in the parking lot. You can purchase tickets at the traditionally low rate of $10 per adult in advance online. Kids age 16 and younger attend for free; please use the “FOL Child Admission” option to indicate how many children will be in your group. You may also purchase advanced tickets at our gift shop any day of the week between 9AM and 4PM. The cost for event entry will increase to $20 per adult at the door. Tickets will not be sold at the door at times when the event is at capacity. Tickets information at Festival of Lights webpage
