Once your booklet is complete, return it to 427 Main Street to be entered into a raffle for a chance to win fantastic prizes and Downtown Dollars.

Dec. 7 - Woodland Ice Rink Opens | 5 - 10:30 PM

Visit Woodland, the Woodland Hoteliers Group, and the City of Woodland invite you to an outdoor winter wonderland with lights, festive decor, holiday music, fire pits, and hot cocoa, all near downtown shopping and dining. Half of all proceeds will support the non-profits helping manage the rink. The Woodland Holiday Ice Rink will celebrate its grand opening on December 7 and end its season on January 5.

Dec. 9, 10, 13 - Neighborhood Santa | Routes start at 6 PM

Santa will pass by on his sleigh and wave at everyone in neighborhoods and parks. Check out our "Santa Cam" for residents to watch on Woodland PD's Facebook Live (https://www.facebook.com/WoodlandPD) from the comfort of their own homes. Residents are asked to attend the closest sleigh route to their home neighborhood.

Santa would like to visit all neighborhoods, but he just can't fit everyone into his busy schedule. Santa will also not be able to visit with children one on one during his neighborhood tour. As Santa will be traveling in a very special sleigh, we ask that residents remain on the sidewalk and not try to approach the vehicles.

Dec. 13 - Parents Night Out | 6 - 10 PM

Parents, enjoy a night out while your kids have fun at Parents Night Out! Woodland Community Services provides the opportunity for you to take some time while we entertain the children for the evening. The event costs just $12 per child when you sign up in advance (sibling rates apply).

Dec. 14 - Holiday Parade | 4 - 6 PM

The Woodland Chamber of Commerce invites you to the 57^th annual Holiday Parade down Main Street. The parade is sure to fill downtown Woodland with holiday floats, lights, music, and cheer!
