The Siskiyou School’s Annual Winter Faire holiday event has been a tradition in the Rogue Valley for over 30 years!
At this family-friendly, old-fashioned event, you and your children may dip your own beeswax candle, choose a treat in the Crystal Cookie Room, pick a treasure from the Pocket Person, visit the magical throne room of the Fairy Queen, and more! Many other enchantments, crafts, and activities, along with delicious food and more than 25 gift vendors, will be awaiting YOUR family!
Winter Faire is the biggest community event of the school year. It draws not only alum students and old friends, but hundreds of people from all over the valley who don’t necessarily have any affiliation with Waldorf education. Below is a typical representation of Winter Faire at the Siskiyou School:
Pick up a clue car at the Ashland Chamber office (110 E. Main St) or Evergreen Federal Bank (1001 W. Jackson Rd) and find 8 of Santa’s Sneaky Pals around Ashland. Compete the hunt and enter to win!
Children under 18 years old must be accompanied by an adult to win the prize in January 2025.
Santa’s Arrival and Grand Illumination begin at 5pm Ashland Ashland Public Library on Friday, November 29th. We will welcome youth and family groups to welcome Santa (his reindeer and elves!) downtown where he will greet the crowd and light the town from the Brickroom balcony, creating magic for this holiday season. The town will come alive with over one million lights all season long!
Every weekend between Thanksgiving and Christmas, the Chamber has coordinated carolers to stroll and sing downtown.
