Silverton Christmas Market - Oregon Garden

Silverton, OR

Thursday, December 8, 2022

2:30 - 9:00 PM

Cost: 60+ Members: $25.00; Non-Members: $30.00

Join us on a fun-filled trip to Silverton Christmas Market, formerly the Oregon Garden, for a wonderful holiday lights display.

The new Silverton Christmas Market focuses on its German heritage and gathers inspiration from authentic German Christmas markets, with collectible mugs, traditional lebkuchen (gingerbread hearts), artisan vendors, a booth selling imported handcrafted German nutcrackers and ornaments, and a light section dedicated to Krampus – the wicked German counterpart to St. Nicholas.

Visitors can stroll along paths draped in more than one million lights, cozy up to a wood-burning fire pit or take a ride down a snowless tubing hill. (There will be no ice skating this year.)

This is an outdoor event, so please dress accordingly. Food, drink, and vendor booths are cashless; please take a debit or credit card for those purchases.

To register, stop by the office at 20 SE 2nd Street, or call us at 541-265-9617.

Christmas Caroling by Horse-Drawn Wagon

Albany, OR

Friday, December 16, 2022

2:00 - 9:00 PM

Cost: 60+ Members: $30.00; Non-Members: $35.00

Join us as we head to the historic district of Albany, OR, for a fun horse-drawn wagon ride. Sing, whistle or hum your favorite carols while trotting past Albany’s decorated historic homes.

The starting point for the wagon ride is the 1849 Monteith House Museum, which is said to be the most authentically restored Pioneer Era home in Oregon. It was one of the first homes in Oregon to be constructed from sawed lumber and was the Albany area’s first frame home.

Prepare for a somewhat chilly ride by dressing warmly and bringing a blanket to snuggle under.
