Twinkle in Time
Baker City Downtown presents Twinkle in Time, a new, weekend-long suite of events and activities to launch the beginning of the holiday season! Twinkle in Time includes our annual Cookie Crawl and the annual Festival of Trees. BCD formally took stewardship of the event in 2023 with the blessing of the Saint Alphonsus Foundation (the former event host).
Twinkle also includes the Twilight Parade and Tree Lighting in Court Street Plaza, organized by the Baker County Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau; Make-and-Take holiday activities, organized by Crossroads Carnegie Art Center, Inc; Pictures with Santa & Letters to Santa, organized by the Baker City Kiwanis; as well as the 4-H Holiday Bazaar, organized by OSU Extension Baker Co. 4-H Oregon.
Festival of Trees
Historic Baker City Downtown is pleased to serve Baker by preserving and enhancing the vitality and character of our community through Festival of Trees. Under BCD’s stewardship, Festival of Trees is restored and reinvigorated to its full, multi-day event to bring the community together in celebration while also raising funds to support projects from multiple local organizations. Grant Applications will be accepted from April 15 - May 13, 2024 from organizations and groups throughout Baker County to share in the proceeds from Festival of Trees through a grant process.
Cookie Crawl
Celebrate the holiday season with downtown Baker by bringing home handmade holiday cookies!
Purchase your cookie box during Festival of Trees’ Family Day at the Baker Heritage Museum (2480 Grove St), before strolling downtown to collect cookies from participating businesses. Only 300 boxes are available, inviting you to celebrate the holidays by sharing a box with family and friends.
Last year over 500 people and 30 businesses took part in celebrating the season of giving together!
