The public is invited take part in the town’s annual Holiday in the Depot hosted by Washington Parks and Recreation! The festivities will get started with a brief speech by Washington’s First Selectman. Then enjoy the lighting of the town’s Christmas tree and carols sung by the Washington Primary School Chorus. Shortly after, Santa will arrive by a horse-drawn wagon. Then follow Santa inside to tell him your wishes and take a picture. While you’re waiting, make a holiday craft with the help of the Gunn Memorial Junior Library or write a letter to Santa with the WVFD Auxiliary.

Be sure to explore the shops around the Depot for tasty treats and goodies while you browse unique sale items. There will also be hayrides around the Depot! Plus lots more to do and see!

Washington will be glowing bright with holiday lights and cheer. You won’t want to miss this wonderful event!
