36th Annual Candlelight Walk Returns to Redwood National & State Parks Nov. 7 & 8, 2025
CRESCENT CITY, Calif. – Redwood Parks Conservancy (RPC) is excited to announce that the 36th Annual Candlelight Walk Through the Ancient Redwoods will take place Friday, November 7, and Saturday, November 8, 2025, from 4 to 7:30 p.m. each night. This timed-entry, self-guided event features two groups per night—Group 1 at 4 p.m. and Group 2 at 6 p.m.—allowing guests to experience the magic of the redwoods in an intimate, safe setting.
Strolling along Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park’s ADA-accessible Revelation Trail, visitors will be enchanted by twinkling string lights, hear stories of the season and the redwoods from local storytellers, and enjoy hot cider and cookies at the visitor center. A silent auction will also support RPC and the parks it serves. Pets are not permitted.
Check-in will take place at the booth outside the Prairie Creek Visitor Center prior to your timed entry.
Tickets go on sale Wednesday, October 1, 2025, at 10 a.m. PDT on Eventbrite. Admission is $25 per person, and children 12 and under attend free (each child must have a ticket). Attendance is limited to 300 guests per night, and tickets often sell out quickly.
