The Winter Festival is right around the corner!
1-6pm on Dec. 7th at Forest Street
We are thrilled to be partnering again with the BC Rec & Parks Dept to bring you this super fun holiday event! There will be vendors, live music, photos with Santa, a food court, the tree lighting and more!
Like last year, entrance is free. The photos with Santa and the DIY crafts are ticketed ($5 per craft and $10 for Santa photos).
We're also looking for a few volunteers to help with things like decorating and being an elf to help Santa with the photos.
We also have a new website just for the Winter Festival!

Boulder Creek mourns the loss of Albert
Boulder Creek's longtime unofficial mascot, a gorgeous white peacock named Albert, has sadly passed on as of late Saturday November 23rd. Many residents had the pleasure of seeing him as he meandered through neighborhoods and trees, occasionally displaying his tail feathers.
The BCBA has organized a fundraiser to create a memorial for Albert and to honor his place in the community's history and we'd like your help.
We'd like to get your input on what type of memorial should be created. Should it be a mural? Should it be a statue? The memorial will be placed in downtown Boulder Creek for all to visit, with the specific location being determined based on the type of memorial chosen. You can vote by clicking here.
We need your help, too, in funding the memorial. The amount needed will also depend on the type of memorial chosen. We expect that it will likely be a few thousand dollars. Anything that you can contribute toward that would be most welcome! You can donate by clicking here. Once the memorial is complete, we will be giving any excess donations to Native Animal Rescue located in Santa Cruz.
Until the permanent memorial is created, we have purchased a statue in Albert's honor that we plan to have on display in various shops and restaurants in downtown where you can all visit him! We'll keep everyone updated on where he'll be on display. If you have a shop or restaurant downtown and would like to have Albert on display for a week or two, please let us know by clicking here. We'll have the statue on display at the Winter Festival, too!
