2016-17 WOODSTOCK EVENTS

THEATER, MUSIC & DANCE

Rich with Victorian architecture, a town square that seems
frozen in time, and a world-renowned Opera House, Woodstock
also has an independent streak brimming with creativity and
entrepreneurship. Artists and locally-owned businesses are
embraced. Our school system is a leader in dual language
education. And music, whether rock, folk, jazz, country or
classical, fills the air indoors and out most every night.
