By Day, Washington Depot is a quaint village with several small town shops visited by locals and tourists alike. However, once a year the Depot transforms into a winter wonderland, marked by horse and carriage rides, carolers singing holiday tunes and the big man himself.

Holiday in the Depot is a long-time tradition for locals and visitors from around Litchfield County. The event is put on by community volunteers, and kicks of the holiday with a bang.
