Event Overview
Tumalo Creek’s Holiday Lights Paddle Parade lights up the Deschutes River and the Old Mill District with a magical display of decorated kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards. Join us for this uniquely Bend holiday tradition!
Starting at 4 p.m. on Friday, December 13, paddlers from across Central Oregon will gather at Tumalo Creek Kayak and Canoe and paddle upriver in a stunning procession of illuminated vessels. If it floats, you might see it in the Holiday Lights Paddle Parade.
Non- paddlers can enjoy the spectacle from the Old Mill District footbridge, celebrating the holiday season with lights, laughter, and community spirit.
