Everything Christmas Walk
Christmas Walk 2026
It’s time to make spirits bright! The annual Christmas Walk, presented by TR Miller, is returning to downtown Oswego on Dec.4, from 4:30 - 8:30 p.m., and you won't want to miss the festivities! Bundle up, bring the family and get ready for an evening filled with holiday magic, including live performances from local music and dance groups, games, crafts, giveaways and live ice carving demonstrations. You can even get a close-up look at Santa’s reindeer, so keep an eye out for those antlers!
Santa will also be making a special appearance at his North Pole home away from home, where children can share their holiday wish lists. Downtown businesses will open their doors for holiday shopping and seasonal fun, making it the perfect opportunity to find a few gifts while shopping local.
Be sure to gather for the Village’s annual tree lighting ceremony as downtown officially lights up for the season, then stick around for the grand finale as the Oswego Fire Protection District brings its illuminated emergency vehicle light parade down Main Street. Consider this your official invitation to kick off the holiday season Oswego-style!
Activities and attractions are subject to change as event details are finalized.

Snow Reminders
Snow Plow
As temperatures drop and winter weather approaches, Oswego's Public Works crews are preparing for snow and ice across the community. While crews work to clear roads and maintain safe travel conditions, residents can help make winter operations more effective with a few simple steps.
A little preparation goes a long way:
- Check that your mailbox is secure and in good condition before the ground freezes.
- Clear snow from the parkway near your driveway apron to help prevent plowed snow from creating additional buildup.
- Keep shoveled and plowed snow on your property. Pushing or piling snow into the street can create hazards for drivers and snowplow operators.
Who Clears Your Roads?
Snow removal responsibilities are shared among several agencies throughout the area:
- Village of Oswego Public Works: Main roads, including Douglas Road (between Route 30 and Wolfs Crossing), Boulder Hill Pass (between U.S. Route 34 and Crofton Road) and Wolfs Crossing, are prioritized before neighborhood streets.
- Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT): Routes 31, 71 and 25, along with U.S. Route 34 and Route 30.
- Kendall County: Orchard Road, Grove Road and Plainfield Road.
- Oswego Township: Roads in unincorporated areas.
Give Snowplows Plenty of Room
Snowplow operators have limited visibility, especially during heavy snowfall. Keep a safe distance from operating plows, avoid driving too closely behind them and remind children to stay away from snowplow trucks.
Thank you for doing your part to help keep Oswego safe and ready for winter weather!
