Holidays in Port Townsend
#FoundInTown • Shop • Dine • Stay in Port Townsend
Winter fun in Port Townsend! Yuletide events, roving carolers and Port Townsend’s own holiday musical add to the festive spirit. Many stores will be open later and offer in-store treats on Saturday, November 28th and Saturday, December 5th. Port Townsend has holiday shopping covered–there are thousands of great gifts available in the historic districts—Uptown and Downtown. Individually-owned businesses offer a personal touch and are a welcome contrast to anonymous malls or online buying. Gifts purchased from destination stores, restaurant gift certificates, movie passes, theatre tickets, nonprofit event tickets, and local artwork are examples of thoughtful gifts loved ones will remember long after the holidays.
