DANA POINT HARBOR CHRISTMAS LIGHTS

With anticipation of the holiday season, there’s a destination that holds a special place in my heart and illuminates the start of my festive journey: Dana Point Happy Harbor Days, located in the Dana Point Harbor. Hosted by the Dana Point Harbor Partners, this annual celebration bathes the coastal haven in a mesmerizing display of over 700,000 LED lights, setting the stage for a magical holiday experience.

Dana Point, with its panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, becomes a canvas of vibrant hues and festive splendor as Happy Harbor Days commences on November 15. For me, this marks the official kickoff to the holiday season, and each year, I eagerly anticipate the enchantment that this coastal celebration brings.

In the heart of Dana Point, with the sound of the waves as a backdrop, Happy Harbor Days unfolds as a symphony of lights that ignites the festive spirit.
