Elf Day in Historic Downtown Chelan

Elves Are Taking Over Historic Downtown Chelan

This holiday season, Historic Downtown Chelan will transform into a festive elf-filled wonderland on Saturday, November 29th! Start your morning with a Santa Pancake Breakfast at Campbell’s (ticketed), enjoy free coffee, cocoa, and donuts at the Chelan Fire Station, and join the Elf Hunt through local shops for treats and surprises. Families will love craft corners, cookie decorating, and storytime with an elf, while holiday shoppers can snag those Shop Small Saturday specials. Check in early at the HDCA welcome booth and snag early-bird Chamber Bucks ($10 for the first 25 people), enjoy live carolers and magical window displays and a downtown
Storywalk. Don’t miss the “Bake-off” style Gingerbread House Making Contest when six local businesses will square off to win for their chosen charity. The movie Elf will be playing at the free family matinee at The Ruby Theatre, and the day will be capped off with a magical evening of downtown dining with holiday menus and glowing lights. It’s a full day of festive fun, local love, and small-town cheer — come experience the magic where the elves play!
