Completed passports can be submitted to the Dana Point Chamber office, making shoppers eligible for weekly prizes and a grand prize that includes an overnight stay at one of our city's exquisite resort properties. This initiative coincides with the lighting of the Harbor's enchanting holiday lights, running through January 4, 2024.
