Save the Date!

A staple event of Patterson's Christmas festivities! Start your morning off supporting Soroptimist International of Patterson and go for a brisk walk or jog...cocoa provided!

Thompson Chevrolet is where all the fun begins! Stop at their BDC building to get a map and candy cane collecting bag, plus some goodies to start you off! The prizes to be won are amazing!

We hope the kiddos aren't tired from the Cocoa Run and Candy Cane Hunt...because we have fun and games waiting for them downtown! 

Calling all bakers! Whether you are a professional or amateur level, we want YOU to submit your best Christmas cookies for tasting and judging! Did we mention the CASH prizes???

It's the most wonderful time to shop for your loved ones (and yourself, too!). Local vendors will be ready for you to check off your list without having to leave town. Bonus points for gifts you can't buy in stores!

Get down to holiday tunes and enjoy dance performances from local groups. Bring the family to enjoy together!

Another favorite of Patterson's Christmas season...streets downtown lined with Christmas trees and wreaths decorated by local businesses, schools, non-profits and more!

Santa Claus is coming to town! Come take in the electric light parade and enjoy the spectacle as Santa rides in on Patterson's Old Engine No. 1!

FREE pictures with Santa immediately following the parade at US Bank!

Create and capture cherished memories with your loved ones!

Tour the downtown businesses that have decked their halls in festive spirit! Come back here during the Festival to vote for your favorite entry.

Take a drive with our trusty map to guide you to the town's best light displays (and don't forget to sign up to be part of it!). Vote for your favorite before the event ends!
