Events that bring
Woodland to LIFE
There’s always something happening in Woodland and a lot of it is the kind of thing people genuinely look forward to all year. From long-running community traditions and seasonal celebrations to markets, movies, family events, local fundraisers, and the little gatherings that seem to pull half the town out of the house, events are a huge part of what gives Woodland its personality.
Some are big enough to bring in visitors from surrounding towns. Others are simple, hyper-local nights where you run into people you know, grab some food, let the kids wander, and end up staying longer than you planned. Together, they’re what make Woodland feel connected.
Whether you’ve lived here for years or you’re coming in for the day, there’s usually a reason to show up, look around, and make a memory.
Good People. Great Events. A Town that Shows Up!
Halloween in Woodland
Woodland knows how do Fall 🍂
Fall Ball Bashes, trick-or-treats, pumpkin patches, hay mases, corn mazes, cider making, and all the goods that make it great to enjoy the fall weather.
Christmas in Woodland
Lights, traditions, and community spirit
Lilac Days may be the star of spring around here, but it’s a pretty great excuse to see what else is blooming, growing, and happening around Woodland too.

Planters Days
Planters Days is one of Woodland’s biggest traditions ~ an entire weekend where the whole town shows up. From the kids and pet parades to the coronation and fireworks, it’s packed with the kind of moments everyone remembers. It kicks things off with the library book sale, bingo, and Woodland’s Strongest competition – but Saturday is where it really comes alive ~ FULL Carnival with rides for all ages, parades, the Saturday Market, the Firemen’s BBQ, military vehicles, bed races, live entertainment, and the Cruise-In filling the streets.
And then there’s the Frog Jump *now in its 58th year* where generations of kids line up for their shot at prizes (and bragging rights), cheering on frogs for longest jump, biggest, smallest, and everything in between. By Sunday, things wind down with the car show, market, and raffle drawing.. but the energy sticks around.
It’s loud, it’s local, and it’s one of those weekends you don’t want to miss in Woodland.
2026 was a GREAT YEAR!

A Directory That Actually Means Woodland
The gardens preserve the work and story of Woodland’s own Hulda Klager, who became known for developing new lilac varieties, and thousands of visitors now come through the historic site each year.

There are a lot of good people doing really good work around Woodland. Some are building businesses from scratch, some have been part of this town for years, and plenty are the same people you’ll see sponsoring local events, supporting schools, donating to fundraisers, and showing up for community.
We like what they’re doing. We think you should know about them, too.
