You will not recognize the Raceway. From Thanksgiving till December 25th (and including Christmas Day), it is transformed in Winter Wonderland and a real feast for the eyes. And the treat is that you can stay warm in your car while admiring the lights. This is one the largest drive-through light show in the country.

This is the most famous street of Portland at Christmas Time. Every time you stroll the street, you will discover a new detail or character you had not noticed before.

From December 17th to December 27th, the Mansion is open for all (for free) to admire its Christmas decorations and lavish interior and grounds. This is your opportunity to judge what one can do with more than 2 million lights. A must see in Portland.
