Get ready for some holiday fun in Sandy!

As part of Sandy's Winterfest, our Parks and Recreation Department has invited all Downtown Sector businesses to join in on the excitement of Winterfest with the Merry Makeover Challenge!

This is a festive decoration contest for our local businesses to show off their holiday spirit! The top three businesses, along with the coveted Mayor's Choice, will snag some awesome prizes and, of course, ultimate bragging rights!

Join Sandy Parks & Recreation in spreading joy, lights, and laughter all season long.

Winterfest magic doesn’t make itself — that’s where YOU come in!

Raise a glass and celebrate the season with us at Holiday Happy Hour! This cheerful gathering is the perfect way to wrap up Winterfest and bid farewell to the holidays alongside friends, neighbors, and our amazing community.

Lace up your sneakers, grab your cozy holiday gear, and join us for the first-ever Winterfest Jolly Jog & Walk! This cheerful 5K fun run and walk is the perfect way to kick off the New Year with family, friends, and festive spirit.

Step into Autumn Magic!

Not all bugs may be touched or held, but there will be a whole lot to see and learn 

All ages are welcome (it's a very fun and FREE event for children and adults alike!)

Wasps aren’t just stinging pests — they’re essential allies in keeping our ecosystems balanced! Learn how these fascinating insects help our environment at this engaging talk by Scott Mitchell and Tucker Hoffman, Oregon State University Researchers.
