About the event
Redwood Parks Conservancy (RPC) invites the public to the 35th Annual Candlelight Walk Through the Ancient Redwoods on Dec. 6 and 7 from 4 to 7:30 p.m. each night. This popular fundraising event benefits RPC and the parks it supports, including Redwood National and State Parks. Attendance is limited to 300 guests per night, and tickets tend to sell out quickly.
The event, held in partnership with California State Parks and the National Park Service, features a walk through Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park’s ADA-accessible Revelation Trail, lit by luminaria. Local storytellers will share winter, holiday, and redwood-themed stories. After the walk, participants can enjoy hot cider and cookies at the visitor center. A silent auction will also be held to support RPC. Pets are not permitted.
