It’s beginning…
to look like Christmas!
It’s nearly that time of the year again and we cannot wait to celebrate the holidays with you and your family!
For generations, local families have celebrated the holidays surrounded by our evergreen traditions. This year, we’re adding something special — a festive logging camp weaving the tales of Paul and Babe into our Christmastown story. Join us for Mason County’s Festival of the Firs, a joyful celebration that honors our heritage and shares the holiday spirit!
It may be an unlikely trio, but this year we’re proud to honor our timber roots and our icons — Paul and Babe. During the holidays, our Beauchamp Santa celebrates Mason County’s history as the nation’s leading producer of Christmas trees in the mid 1900s, when firs from our forests were shipped across the country by rail. Today, Shelton — AKA Christmastown, USA — and nearby communities keep that tradition alive with music, plays, caroling, parades, events, and festive gatherings all season long.
