Silverton Christmas Market: 2022 Dates & Info
Formerly known as Christmas in the Garden.
Oregon’s largest Christmas light display in the state.
And possibly for several states around.
With the claim of over one million lights along with tons more fun and various activities for both children and adults alike, this could be the one don’t miss holiday event for you.
But the truth is, it is just an overpriced market. If you have kids, take them here. If not, you may find better things to do with your time.
Silverton Market, formerly Christmas in the Garden, is hosted at the Oregon Garden Resort in Silverton, Oregon. It is no longer hosted inside the Oregon Garden but instead hosted on the grounds of the Oregon Garden Resort. This is due to management changes on the property.
However, they claim this allows for more space, more lights, and more fun.
Below is a map of the path.

Biergarten aka Beer Garden:
This will be the place for you adults to hang out but it’s not going to be a top-notch stop. Food wise you can basically expect snacks. Pizza, hot dogs, nachos, pretzels, and sausages.
Beer wise, they don’t seem to have a sponsor currently but in the past it is hosted by Stella Artois. They will still have some classic traditions like Gluhwein, hot chocolate, hot apple cider, and more. Entertainment wise, they will cycle the same few unknown groups throughout the month.
Concerts:
As of 2022 they have a few bands listed.

The skating rink is covered and heated.
Vendor Market and Shopping On-site:
The 2021 vendor market will have a rotating assortment of local vendors. It is your typical Oregon hippie market. Handmade beard oils, candles, “crafts”, and things. I’m sure you can find some gifts for friends here if you try hard enough.
Nearby Lodging:

Here are a few local Inns and even an RV Park for those of you traveling via motor home.

But folks, when you’re in Silverton Oregon, be sure to check out Silverfalls State Park. It has 10 waterfalls and it is much more magical than a few million Christmas lights.
David says
This was an amazing event when it was in the actual Gardens. It has really never been the same since the pandemic. We tried the last two years hoping it would return to its original wonder, but no such luck. Sounds like it will the this way permanently, so we won’t be returning. Far to expensive for what is now offered.
Ruben Chood says
Definitely not worth the money.
Tickets were outrageously expensive for what it was AND you can also pay $10 to park (or ride a free school bus shuttle). There are no animatronics, no programmed light shows. Just a couple long paths with lights you can walk along, and then vendors, beer garden, and a (paid) kids slide. I’m not saying it’s bad, I’m just saying there’s nothing there worth paying money for that your local neighbors haven’t out-done. For this price, we expected a unique experience, not a sparkly farmers market.
