Oakland Winter Lights
This winter, we invite residents and visitors alike to rediscover Oakland through a season-long celebration of light, art, and community.
Running from December through February, Oakland Winter Lights transforms the neighborhood into a glowing destination where creativity meets connection, brightening some of the city’s darkest months with installations, displays, and experiences that bring people together.
Experiences

Phipps Holiday Magic
The holiday season simply isn’t complete without a trip to Phipps Holiday Magic, where glowing gardens and festive displays make spirits soar. This year’s playful theme, “Wild Winter,” invites you into a wonderland of whimsical topiary wildlife and enchanting scenes at every turn.

Oaklander Igloo Lounge
Escape the chill and settle into your own private heated igloo on the winter patio at The Oaklander — a cozy, twinkle-lit haven perfect for gathering with friends, date nights, or a festive evening out. Enjoy seasonal light bites, shareable plates, and craft cocktails while you relax under the glow of string lights and take in the winter atmosphere.
