The Christmas lights are starting to twinkle on Ferndale’s Main Street, and we have a magical 2023 season in store! Join us this Christmas season to experience our cherished traditions, unique gifts, and warm accommodations—all in a National Historic Register small town just minutes from Northern California’s famed redwood forests.
Ferndale’s upcoming events include:
Put on your best suit/dress and join us for music and dancing with Noir, appetizer buffet, and a champagne toast.
Holiday scenes on decorated tractors and tractor-drawn wagons parade up Main Street.
Prepared by the Vevoda family. Proceeds benefit the Assumption Catholic Church.
Enjoy the Scotia Brass Band on Main Street, Saturday afternoons in December.
Join the Ferndale Museum for a fun get-together featuring live music, refreshments, and a scavenger hunt.
