Welcome to Rogue Winterfest!

“Rogue Winterfest is a wonderful collaboration of love, selflessness, artistry, and beauty on so many levels—touching so many hearts and putting everyone in good spirits at just the right time of the year. No matter what role you play in this event, you should feel proud, honored, and yet humbled. This event is guaranteed to leave you smiling and feeling good, not just with yourself but with your community as well!”

—Matthew Tavis Johnson, Rogue Winterfest Entertainer

“Many of us in the legal community who are asked to donate to charity do not always get to see the fruits of our donations. Winterfest is an exception to that because Winterfest does a great job with its sponsors. You really get to see how your sponsorship benefits the event and the community. Due to the financial hardships our nation is facing, our community really benefits a great deal from events like Winterfest and sponsorships from businesses in the community are absolutely necessary. We hope that Winterfest can continue to shine year after year.”

—Chris Cauble, Attorney at Law

“I wish to say ‘thank you’ to the many volunteers who obviously spent countless hours so I could enjoy the wonderful Rogue Winterfest at the Bear Hotel. It is definitely a wow! I so appreciate the utter imagination, creativity, artistry and dedication of so many people. Many were still busy the day I was there as helpful elves and other characters working to guarantee that everyone enjoyed themselves. My hat is off to all of the workers and, may they all enjoy a most blessed Christmas.”

—Margaret von Stein

“I have always loved working with my hands and creating something for others to enjoy. Winterfest is the perfect outlet for me, and it always gives me tremendous satisfaction to help these very worthwhile organizations in Grants Pass. This is a win-win event for everyone!”

—Lee Good

“Last year’s Rogue Winterfest was such a wonderful surprise! There were fun things to do and see for all ages. The adults appreciated the beautiful transformation of a warehouse into a fanciful, quirky, winter wonderland, and the kids loved the games, free books, and visiting with Santa and Mrs. Claus. The minute we walked out, we called our friends and family and said, ‘You must go to the Winterfest!’”
