Holiday Events and Changes to Hours
Our chamber visitor center staff and volunteers are being asked about your special plans for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve or New Year's Day. We refer to our community calendar first when looking up events and hope you find it to be a valuable resource, too.
Are you hosting special holiday activities? What are your seasonal hours of operation? Is your restaurant going to be open or offering a special menu on the holidays? Is your event on our community calendar?
You can post your activities on our online event calendar directly. Sign in to your member’s landing page at members.oldoregon.com/login or post using the public submission form on the calendar. You can also update your directory listing while you are logged in.
Call or email us at the chamber if you need help posting to the calendar or to let us know your seasonal plans.
