This is Umatilla’s 49th year of celebrating our Cracker Christmas Parade and Festival and it all kicks off with our Dog Jog starting at 9am, followed by this years Cinematic Themed Cracker Christmas Parade at 9:30am. Then meet us back at the Chamber and City Hall lawn (by the fountain) as the festivities continue till 4pm. There will be Vendors, Food, Carnival Games, a Bounce House, Petting Zoo, Cake Walks and make sure you don’t miss out on a personal visit with Santa 🎅 for a photo, hug and sharing your Christmas wishes. Take a stroll across Lakeside Avenue for our 1st year’s decorated 4WD Contest, where your votes decide which one of our contestant’s vehicles will take home cash prizes for the best Christmas Sparkle and Shine 4WD Contest!
Come experience a hometown Christmas like no other right here in Umatilla, “The Gateway To The Forest”!
