Three major holiday events are going on around the Harbor this weekend. Here’s the breakdown:

HOQUIAM

Ho Ho Hoquiam

Shop locally, catch a holiday classic, grab a hot cocoa, vote for your favorite tree and collect a free commemorative ornament Saturday evening at the Hoquiam Business Association’s annual Ho Ho Hoquiam celebration.

Drop by the 7th Street Theatre starting at 4 p.m. to pick up a free cup of hot chocolate for the Cocoa Stroll, along with a ballot for the Festival of Trees competition. For the next three hours, downtown Hoquiam businesses will open their doors for shopping and to show off their specially decorated Christmas trees. The competition is broken into six categories: most Christmas spirit, theme most relevant to business, most beautiful, funniest, most creative, and best hometown Hoquiam theme.

Return to the theater by 7 p.m. to turn in completed ballots. In return, you’ll get a free commemorative ornament. A limited number of ornaments is available, so it’s first come, first served.

Grays Harbor Santa, aka the Harley-Riding Santa, will appear at the 7th Street Theatre at 5 p.m. Bring your own camera and snap selfies with him until 6 p.m.

The Christmas classic film “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” will play at the 7th Street at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $6 and available at Harbor Drug, City Center Drug, Crown Drug, at the box office starting at 7 p.m., or online at brownpapertickets.com/event/3819669. The movie is rated PG-13.

ABERDEEN

Winterfest

Festival-goers are encouraged to shop local on Friday and Saturday. Many downtown businesses are providing raffle items for in-store drawings. Patrons may enter in each participating store (identified by Winterfest placards in the windows), with winners to be named after 5:30 Friday and 3 p.m. Saturday.

A pair of reindeer will kick off Winterfest at 4 p.m. Friday with a meet-and-greet at Zelasko Park until 7 p.m. Santa will arrive on a fire truck at 5:30 to throw the switch on the Christmas tree lights at the park. Then, at 7, Tinderbox Coffee Roasters will bring the party indoors with a Family Paint & Sip event.

On Saturday morning from 9 to 11, St. Andrews Episcopal Church will host Breakfast with Santa. Kids may choose to write letters to Santa or assemble and decorate a wooden toy. Santa will pose for photos with children from 9:30 to 11:30, and again from 12:30 to 2:30.

From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., more than 30 vendors will be selling their wares at the Holiday Market inside the old Goldberg’s Furniture building, 117 W. Wishkah. Gingerbread house contest entries will be on display at the D&R Event Center for public voting during those hours.

Activities at the Grays Harbor Historical Seaport will begin at 1 p.m. A selection of tribal art will be on display there all afternoon, and children will be able to create different types of crafts. PAWS of Grays Harbor will host a booth where families can have holiday portraits taken with their pets, in exchange for donations. The seaport tree lighting will take place at 6 p.m., capping off the event.

WESTPORT

Santa By the Sea

One of Westport’s great traditions, Santa’s annual arrival by boat at the Westport Marina, continues Saturday morning.

He’ll land at 10:30 a.m., escorted by the U.S. Coast Guard, then ride on a fire truck to the Westport Maritime Museum. In the museum’s exhibit hall for the Destruction Island Lighthouse lens, he will talk with children and be available for photos. Parents will need to bring their own cameras.

At the same time, the South Beach Historical Society is hosting a holiday bazaar in McCausland Hall on the museum grounds, with crafts and holiday food items for sale.

At the other end of Westhaven Drive, near the observation tower, things will be lively at the Tackle Box event center. The South Beach Buccaneers, a group that dresses as pirates and participates in many of Westport’s events, will be offering refreshments and “kids only” store where the pirates will help kids shop for presents for parents and siblings. They’ll even help with gift wrapping.
