Create magical holiday memories with your family this winter! Open November 22 - December 31, 2024 (closed Nov. 27 & 28, Dec. 24 & 25). Now is the time to book our special overnight package. The light experience will begin beside the Oregon Garden Resort, winding around the main lodge and along the entire length of the Resort property, with the German vendor market and snowless tubing hill in the center, before winding back across the property along intimate trails, draped in lights. Walk through an immersive path packed with more than a million lights, cruise down the snowless tubing hill, take your picture with Santa or Frosty, enjoy live music and a local brew in the Biergarten, taste international cuisine and drink (including gluhwein) and shop for handmade gifts and imported German goods at the authentic German market! OVERNIGHT PACKAGE
Stay just steps away from the action with this special overnight package. Some hotel room decks will even overlook the lights! This special package includes:
- Entry to the Silverton Christmas Market for each person on the package
- Overnight accommodations
- Breakfast the next morning
Each room includes a cozy fireplace, private patio or deck, and some rooms are also pet-friendly. While staying, don’t forget to book a relaxing service at the Moonstone Spa or visit the Fireside Lounge for a nightcap and live music. This event has become a beloved family tradition over the past decade, but it was not always called the Silverton Christmas Market. Last winter, the event was Lights at the Oregon Garden Resort and prior to that, the event was held in The Oregon Garden’s Rediscovery Forest as Christmas in the Garden. Since the Resort’s parent company, Moonstone Hotel Properties, no longer manages The Oregon Garden, the event now resides on the grounds of the Oregon Garden Resort. This has been a positive change for the event, bringing a longer and more intimate walking path, a one-way path to ease the flow of traffic and varied landscaping to make one million lights even more spectacular. The new Silverton Christmas Market aims to focus on its German heritage and gathers inspiration from authentic German Christmas Markets, with collectible mugs; traditional lebkuchen (gingerbread hearts) and gluhwein (mulled wine); artisan vendors; a booth selling imported handcrafted German nutcrackers, smokers and ornaments; and a light section dedicated to Krampus - the wicked German counterpart to St. Nicholas.
