Wintertime in Stillwater is a locally organized effort to stimulate the Stillwater economy and help support businesses. Our intent, with organizing local and safe outdoor events, is to create an atmosphere that makes Stillwater as fun to visit in the Winter as it does in the Summer. Many residents have graciously asked how they can help support a thriving downtown. This is one way to work together as a community to support each other, celebrate winter, and to brighten up this season.
