The City of Woodstock will welcome the holiday season with its 29th Annual Christmas Jubilee & Parade of Lights on Sunday, December 7, 2025. The celebration brings a parade down Main Street and evening festivities to The Park at City Center.
The parade begins at 5:30 p.m., traveling from Woodstock Elementary School on Rope Mill Road down Main Street to the Sam's Club at Highway 92. City officials advise residents to plan for road closures starting at 5:15 p.m. and to expect detours around the downtown area. The event will take place rain or shine unless severe weather occurs.
Following the procession, the celebration moves to The Park at City Center for the official lighting of a 30-foot Christmas tree with Mayor Michael Caldwell and Santa Claus. The event features free activities for families, including sugar plum cupcake decorating, a "Kris Kringle Kidz Kraft" area, carnival games, and inflatables. Attendees can also visit with Santa in the gazebo and enjoy food from local vendors.
Children can drop off wish lists at Santa’s Mailbox in the gazebo from November 27 through December 14 to receive a personalized response. Parks and Recreation Director Brian Borden described the nearly 30-year tradition as a time for neighbors to celebrate in the heart of the city.
