Tickets are now available online for the 29th Annual Candlelight Walk through the Ancient Redwoods scheduled for Friday, Nov. 30 and Saturday, Dec. 1, 2018, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park. This family-friendly event has become increasingly popular and is now held over two consecutive nights, providing a rare opportunity for participants to walk on a path through the old-growth redwoods at night starting at 6 p.m. Prior to the walk at 5 p.m., light refreshments and auctions will be held.Online tickets can be obtained via the Redwood Parks Conservancy (RPC) website: www.redwoodparksconservancy.

RPC operates sales areas in seven park and national forest visitor centers and all profits above operating costs return to the parks in support of programs. The stores are great sources of books for all ages, unique gifts from pottery to puppets, outdoor wear, and many other gift items related to the natural and cultural history of our area.
