2024 Christmas & Winter Holidays

Celebrate the winter season with holiday parades, holiday light tours, a visit with Santa, the Nutcracker ballet and caroling. Welcome winter with a solstice gathering or attend a community Christmas tree lighting — or a covered bridge lighting!

Celebrate Hanukkah with a menorah lighting. Gather with friends for Kwanzaa. Go shopping for holiday gifts at artisan markets, at malls or in charming shopping districts. And don't forget to make reservations for holiday dinners or Christmas brunch at a local restaurant.

Make Merry

Bells are jingling and lights are sparkling! Get out and about this season at all the spectacular events and activities offered from the Oregon Coast to the Cascade Mountains. Choose your own holiday tree, shop the festive markets, indulge in delicious holiday treats. From tree lightings and choir concerts to ice skating and winter waterfalls, there is a lot to do and see this winter!

A Giving Season

This year as you lift your glass of local Pinot Noir in gratitude for health and wellbeing, let us remember our greater community impacted by the ongoing challenges of the last several years. Make that extra effort to select this year's gifts from an artisan vendor, a small business or an independently owned store. Set your holiday table with food from Oregon farms, vendors and restaurants.
