A mid-November weekend of gnomes and holiday shopping.
The second weekend of November is when local holiday shopping shifts into gear: Gnome Fest Day at Tualatin's Red Sled Market on Saturday, November 14, the West Linn Community Center Holiday Bazaar running November 14-15, and the enormous Holiday Food & Gift Festival at Wingspan November 13-15, all within easy reach of 22379 SW 107th Ave.
By mid-November, the fall harvest festivals have wrapped and the holiday season takes over. This weekend is a good one to start shopping close to home and near it: a gnome-themed day in Tualatin, a community-center bazaar across the river, and Oregon's biggest holiday shopping event a half-hour away. Here is how to line up the weekend.
Saturday, November 14
Gnome Fest Day at the Red Sled Market.
The Tualatin holiday shopping season is in full swing, and the Red Sled Market, now in its 30th anniversary season, celebrates Saturday, November 14 with Gnome Fest Day. The Nyberg Road pop-up is filled with 80-plus local makers selling handmade gifts, jewelry, candles, cozy knits, and gourmet treats, and the day adds gnome-themed fun for families browsing the booths.
Find it at 7111 SW Nyberg Rd (the Best Buy Mall) in Tualatin, open through December 24. Hours and activities for Gnome Fest Day are posted on the market's website, so check ahead and go early before the good stuff sells.

Holiday Food & Gift Festival at Wingspan.
If you want the whole thing in one trip, the Holiday Food & Gift Festival fills the Wingspan Event & Conference Center in Hillsboro with hundreds of exhibitors selling art, crafts, jewelry, clothing, woodcraft, photography, toys, and Christmas decor, plus food and gift vendors, wineries and distilleries, and Santa.

It is one of the largest holiday shopping events in the Northwest and about a 25-minute drive from Tualatin, an easy day trip that can knock out most of a gift list in one afternoon. Confirm the exhibitor list and ticket details on the festival's page before heading up.

Looking Ahead
The season picks up right after.
The weekend after, ZooLights opens at the Oregon Zoo on Friday, November 20, and the Winter Village ice rink at Orenco Station opens November 29. Then December lands with a thud of good cheer: the Light Parades roll December 4-6, Starry Nights lights the Commons, and the Tualatin events calendar fills with free holiday gatherings, from the New Horizons Big Band concert on December 7 to La Posada Navideña at the library on December 18. Start the season this weekend and you will be nicely ahead of the rush.
The Season Starts Here
Plan one weekend, enjoy the whole season.
Tualatin's location makes this the perfect home base for a holiday season that stretches from gnome parties on Nyberg Road to the biggest gift festival in the Northwest. If being at the center of that calendar sounds right to you, Paul Knighton of MORE Realty would love to show you 22379 SW 107th Ave and the weekends that come with it.
