GWCC news and views: Festival of Lights and another great year for the Tuesday Night Market

by | Nov 19, 2024

Thank You Vendors and Shoppers:

Thanks to all who attended the Tuesday Night Market in August and September. The Greater Woodstock Chamber of Commerce (GWCC) appreciates the unique vendors, local music and meeting you down by the river.

The GWCC is now planning for The Festival of Lights and Santa Claus Parade.

Join us on Friday, Nov. 22, for the Festival of Lights:

7 p.m. Watch the Special Olympian Torchlight Parade (TD Bank to King Street), followed by the lighting of the Christmas tree.

7:30 p.m. – Downtown Woodstock’s first drone light show! The best views will be from King Street in downtown Woodstock. To say we are excited is an understatement. The spectacular Canada Drone Show will include 100 drones! The lights will accompany festive bilingual tunes, bringing the holiday spirit to our eyes and ears.

All day until late – Moonlight Madness. Many stores open late with extra savings, a great time to start your holiday shopping or pick up a special item you’ve had your eye on. Enjoy one of our downtown restaurants or a food truck that will be on-site before and after the drone show. 

No winter talk, just Holiday Festivities – that’s allowed, right?! We will NOT mention the snow flurries we saw the other day. 

Santa Claus Parade

Join us on Sunday, Dec. 1, at 4 p.m. for the Santa Claus Parade, featuring this year’s theme: Festival of Lights. Line the route along Houlton Street to Main Street, ending with festivities in the NBCC parking lot. Tractors, cars, and floats will bring their best sparkle, and, of course, Santa will make an appearance.

If you want to enter a float, please email info@gwcc.ca.
