TIPS FOR FINDING GLASS FLOATS Start your hunt at public beachaccess points to find floats hidden by Float Fairies all year round. Plan your trip around one of the multiple special drops throughout the year, when Float Fairies scatter hundreds of extra floats. These dates include the opening weekend, which rings in the New Year; the Lincoln City Retro Expo in mid-February, when organizers drop 100 antique Japanese floats; and holidays like Independence Day and Halloween. Find a full list of special drop dates on the website. Look for the glimmer of these glass treasures tucked into visible spaces between the high-tide line and the beach embankment (the bluffs that run along the edge of the beach). Floats are hidden throughout the day, not just once a day, and during daylight hours only. ALEX JORDAN
