Woodstock Municipal Court is offering Amnesty Week April 22-26. Those who missed a court date in the past year may come into the City of Woodstock Municipal Court’s office and take care of the citation without any additional penalty (Note that this is not amnesty for the underlying charge; this amnesty applies to the failure to appear bench warrant that was issued when the failure to appear occurred). 

A breakfast honoring all city employees sponsored by the Woodstock Lions Club will take place on Thursday, April 25th from 8 am to 10 am in the Courtroom at the City Annex. Thank you, Woodstock Lions!

The topic for the Downtown Woodstock Walking Tour Series on Thursday, April 25th is "How Downtown Woodstock Revitalized" and will explore the re-development of the downtown district.

Woodstock is an arts-centered city. On Friday, April 26th at 8 am at the Woodstock Arts Theater, IN WDSTK's Morning INfluence features Woodstock Arts Executive Director, Christopher Brazelton and his team sharing plans for the 2024-2025 season. Registration is required at inwdstk.org.
