Tis the season to get your float on! The City of Lincoln City does their annual Glass Float drop in December where local artists drop off hand crafted glass ornamental pieces throughout the coast line here in Lincoln City. Here's a link from our friends at the Visitor's center: http://www.oregoncoast.org/finders-keepers Aside from that, there are numerous other things happening on the coast this winter(below) and might we remind you that December makes the best time to come to Lincoln City considering the smaller crowds and by far the lowest prices of the year. Have a very merry Christmas everyone from all of us at the Inn at Wecoma!
Hundreds of floats are dropped during the month of December, with extra Holiday themed ones being dropped during Christmas and New Year Eve. They are fun to search for whether you’re going solo, with your family, or with your pet! Make a game of it while you search for these hidden gems.
Pixies have a long tradition here in Lincoln City, and in celebration of that The North Lincoln County Historical Museum is opening their doors for children from 3:30pm to 5:30pm Dec 3rd - 4th to make their own Pixies! Each child will assemble a clay pixie head onto a body and dress the pixie in regalia including beads, jewels, feathers, and more. All art supplies are provided.

This dazzling display starts the weekend of Dec 4th- 6th and will be running through December every Saturday and Sunday from 5:00pm to 8pm. Your breath will be taken away when over half a million colorful lights and holiday decorations surround you, and your family, as you explore the Aquarium after hours. And guess who will be there? Santa! That’s right, Santa will be there every night during the Sea of Lights until Christmas to pose for photos and to listen to visitor’s holiday wish lists!
Mid to late December is the best time to see these amazing gray whales during their southern migration to Mexico. You can book a whale watching expedition through one of our local charter boat operators, like Trade Winds, or you can explore the beach and watch for these majestic creatures as they breach right off the coastline. Whale watching is almost a sport here on the coast, so see if you can spot one of these amazing creatures for yourself!
Dress the kids in their pajamas and get ready to take a magical ride on a virtual journey to the North Pole!

North Pole Express “departs” at 5:45pm and “arrives” at 8pm Dec 11th.
