A Message from the President

​

Welcome to the 104th Woodland Planters Days Celebration!

​

On behalf of the Woodland Planters Days Celebration Committee, it is my honor to welcome you to another year of one of Southwest Washington's most cherished traditions.

​

For more than a century, Planters Days has brought our community together to celebrate our heritage, our people, and the spirit that makes Woodland such a special place to call home. While the festivities, entertainment, and activities continue to evolve, the heart of this celebration remains the same: neighbors coming together to create lasting memories.

​

This event would not be possible without the extraordinary support of so many individuals and organizations. I would like to extend our sincere appreciation to the City of Woodland, whose partnership and commitment help make this celebration possible each year. A special thank you goes to our Public Works Department and city staff, whose countless hours of preparation, coordination, and behind-the-scenes efforts help transform our community into a welcoming destination for thousands of visitors.

​

We are equally grateful to our first responders, volunteers, service clubs, sponsors, vendors, entertainers, parade participants, nonprofit organizations, and community partners. Your dedication, generosity, and willingness to serve are what make Planters Days a success year after year.

​

To the citizens of Woodland, thank you for embracing this tradition and for sharing your community with visitors from throughout the region. To our guests, thank you for joining us and experiencing the hospitality, pride, and small-town spirit that define Woodland.

​

As you enjoy the parade, entertainment, family activities, food, exhibits, and special events throughout the weekend, I encourage you to take a moment to recognize the many people who work throughout the year to bring this celebration to life. Their efforts reflect the best of our community: service, teamwork, and pride in Woodland.

​

Thank you for being part of this year's celebration. We hope you enjoy every moment and create memories that will bring you back again next year.

See you at Planters Days!

​

Sincerely,

Keith Bellisle
President
Woodland Planters Days Celebration Committee
