Salem, Oregon Brimming With Holiday Spirit and Activity

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009
Holidays at the Oregon Capitol Rotunda

Holidays at the Oregon Capitol Rotunda

Downtown Salem, Oregon is alive and in a flutter now that the holidays are near.  Everywhere you turn there are gorgeous lights, sounds and colors of the season to lift your spirits.  The historic buildings also have wonderful traditional Christmas displays and family events to enjoy.  And just outside of the city, the wineries and cider houses are diligently working to prepare for the holiday parties, open tours, and dinners that come each December.

You can ask anyone who has been here during the holidays- there is truly something very special about the month of December in Salem.  We embrace the weather- rain or shine- and enjoy that higher level of excitement to our community as the shoppers move about the downtown stores in search of unique and special gifts for loved ones; warm up in the many cafes and coffee shops throughout the city; and attend the many seasonal events with their children.
Holiday Visitors may also want to take advantage  of our special seasonal rates- just visit our Holiday Specials section on our site.
