Holiday happenings around the Rogue Valley

Times’ Features Editor Alissa Corman has compiled a giant list of holiday events, and you can find it online at rv-times.com/go_rogue and in the print edition of GO! Rogue throughout the season.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year if you enjoy holiday festivities, and for Southern Oregonians, there’s something for just about everyone.

Events include a host of holiday concerts and community tree lightings across the valley, among many, many others. Also, for those interested in promoting their holiday bazaars, the Times is selling space in our classified advertising section. Call 458-488-2042 or place your ad at rv-times.com.
