Holiday fun run

Jingle All The Way Fun Run and Walk

Expand to see the parent tip

The Kelso Longview Chamber’s 14th annual Jingle All The Way sends runners and walkers down the Longview Holiday Parade route just before the parade itself.

Kids under 12 take part free, the course ends at the Civic Circle, and families can stay right there to watch the parade come through afterward.

Parent tip: Register by 3 pm on race day and wear something that jingles, since the run doubles as a warm-up act for the parade crowd.

Breakfast with Santa

Breakfast with Santa

Expand to see the parent tip

Longview Parks and Recreation’s yearly breakfast fills the historic Monticello Hotel ballroom with a pancake and sausage spread, with Santa and Mrs. Claus working the room.

Between bites kids do crafts, games and a scavenger hunt, and magician John W. Stevens brings the holiday entertainment.

Parent tip: Pick the 8:30 or 10:45 session when you buy tickets, and remember every guest older than one needs their own.

Plan your December

When each Longview Christmas event for kids happens

Run or walk the parade route together on December 5 and stay at the Civic Circle for the parade, then book a breakfast session for December 12 before tickets go.

Looking further afield? Our Washington Christmas events for kids guide lists every confirmed event in the state, and we have city guides for Vancouver, Olympia, Bonney Lake and Tacoma. The national search sorts every event by distance from your town.

A story for the drive home

A morning with Santa or an evening of holiday stories tends to end the same way: tired kids, a long drive and one more book before bed. Our picture book follows Rally the corgi on his first train ride to see his grand-paw-rents, and every page is painted by hand. If your family is spending December missing someone, it was written for that too. For the car, print our free corgi and train coloring pages.
