The Dungeness River Nature Center, 1943 W. Hendrickson Road, hosts its annual River Center Holiday Nature Mart this weekend.

From 10 a.m.-7 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 19, and noon-4 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 20, attendees can shop for hand-crafted gifts and ornaments, flower arrangements and wreath-making, baked goods and more while getting holiday photos and seeing thousands of lights on the historic Railroad Bridge.

The sale coincides with the Nov. 19 bridge lighting at 5 p.m.; Hurricane Coffee at the River is staying open until 7 p.m. that day, with hot drinks available all day.

The center’s Nature Mart event started in 2006 but hasn’t been held since 2019 because of COVID concerns.
