Festival of Illusions Returns

Immerse yourself in a world of wonder! Illusions and tricks will have you spellbound during the Festival of Illusions in Lincoln City this month. Every evening from March 23rd – 30th, the Lincoln City Cultural Center will feature a different professional magician or illusionist.

The Festival of Illusions delivers weather-proof family shows and workshops to spring break on the Oregon coast. This year’s schedule will include live, in-person performances by Leapin' Louie, Lucky Luke Hammer and Commander Salamander, as well as other fun events like a pop-up escape room!

March's Special Drop

It wouldn't be a good Spring Break at the beach without a Finders Keepers Special Drop! Between March 16th and April 14th, float fairies will be very busy dropping 200 extra floats on the beach for lucky treasure hunters to stumble upon. Please remember that floats are hidden between the high tide line and the beach embankment, and not in difficult places to find such as beach grass or dangerous locations to get to. Help us preserve our coastline by staying off the vegetation and respecting wildlife.
