5 Pacific Northwest holiday events worth traveling to
from Peak Northwest · host The Oregonian/OregonLive
Just about every town in America has a tree lighting event, walk-through light display or downtown shopping night for the holidays, but a few spots like to do something a little extra. On this week’s episode of Peak Northwest, we look at the Pacific Northwest holiday events that might be worth traveling to, from busy winter festivals to visits from Krampus. There’s something delightful about small towns going all out for the holidays, one-upping each other for the biggest, best and busiest events –and offering Northwest travelers a window into local holiday traditions. Here are some highlights from this week’s show: Why you should check out Leavenworth’s Christmastown, even though it will be a scene. The best light display in Oregon? It might be at a state park on the coast. Get a taste of Victorian Christmas pageantry in this southern Oregon destination. A small town in Washington has a delightfully creepy Krampus tradition.
