Tips & Advice

  • Come Friday for the Hot Cocoa Crawl and the tree lighting, then come back Saturday evening for the tractor parade through downtown Winters.
  • Visit Mr. and Mrs. Claus at the gazebo early on Saturday, because their visits that day wrap up before the tractor parade begins.
  • Browse the Holiday Vendor Market downtown on both days, and remember it opens earlier on Saturday than on Friday.
  • Tractor owners who want to drive in the parade should register their tractor ahead, joining a tradition that started with a few local farmers in 2015.
  • Dress warmly, because the tree lighting and tractor parade both happen outdoors downtown on December evenings.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Tree Lighting on December 4, 2026.
  • Tractor Parade on December 5, 2026.
