Save the Date: Willow Creek Festival of Light & Wonder is Coming Back This Winter
Mark your calendar because the Willow Creek Festival of Light & Wonder is coming back this winter.
This evening has become one of the community’s most cherished traditions. Neighbors line the streets for the lighted parade, families gather for a holiday movie, and the whole town counts down together as the tree lights up Commons Park. There’s music, food, familiar faces, and a little bit of magic that only happens once a year.
More details and volunteer opportunities on this year’s celebration are coming soon.
For now, save the date and get ready to celebrate with your people!
