From New Year's Eve Fireworks, the Saugatuck Women’s Club hosting of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, to the annual tree lighting at Wicks Park on Water Street - Saugatuck is a charming place for a visit during the holidays. Saugatuck and neighboring community Douglas collaborate and share talents and resources for a full calendar of events – load up family and friends for the 2011 Halloween Harvest Festival among others.

The Saugatuck Center for the Arts is a great indoor destination when the weather is bad. The mainstage and performance studio presents performances by the Yamma Ensemble and Second City in November; October classes feature a paper mache haunted house workshop and Halloween Boo Banner workshop; and be sure to check out current exhibits at the Bertha Krueger Reid Exhibition Hall. Enjoy an fall or winter visit to Saugatuck this season.
