Woodstock has a lively mid November stretch from Monday, November 9 through Tuesday, November 17, 2026, built around downtown theatre, a candlelit harp concert, a city veterans ceremony and an artist critique night. The four picks this week are Youth Spotlight: Finding Nemo Jr. at the Woodstock Arts Theatre, Concert by Candlelight at the Reeves House Gallery, the City of Woodstock's Veterans Day ceremony and Artist Critique Night with Chase King. Each listing was confirmed on the page of the organizer that runs it, and where a price or detail has not been published, the entry says so.
Youth Spotlight: Finding Nemo Jr. at the Woodstock Arts Theatre
When
There are five performances: Thursday, November 12, at 7 p.m.; Friday, November 13, at 7 p.m., with a celebratory reception to follow; Saturday, November 14, at 2:30 p.m. and 7 p.m.; and Sunday, November 15, at 2:30 p.m. Doors open 30 minutes before each show, and the run time is 60 minutes.
Where
The show is at the Woodstock Arts Theatre, 8534 Main Street, Woodstock, GA 30188, and the phone number is (678) 494-4251. The theatre's event page has the details for each performance.
Tickets
Tickets are $21 to $22 online and $24 to $25 at the door. All ticket sales are final, with a $2 exchange fee that is waived for subscribers. Membership offers additional events and perks, according to the theatre.
Good to know
The production is rated for all ages and listed as family friendly. The performers are young artists in the Spotlight program, working with professional directors, a choreographer and a music director. It is based on the 2003 Disney and Pixar film, with book, music and lyrics by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez and a book adapted by Lindsay Anderson. A short run time makes it an approachable first theatre outing for younger children, and the Saturday and Sunday matinees at 2:30 p.m. are the easiest slots for families. The Friday evening performance is followed by a celebratory reception, which is a nice chance to meet the cast and see how a youth production comes together. Because all sales are final, pick your date with care before you buy, and remember that buying online costs a few dollars less than paying at the door.
Concert by Candlelight with Mary Elizabeth Kidd
When
The concert is on Saturday, November 14, 2026. Entry opens at 6 p.m., and the show runs about 60 minutes.
Where
The concert is in the Reeves House Gallery at the Reeves House Visual Arts Center, 734 Reeves Street, Woodstock, GA 30188. The venue's phone number is (678) 494-4251. The theatre and the gallery share an organizer in Woodstock Arts, though the two are on different streets, so double check the address before you set out. The event page has the full description.
Tickets
Tickets are $25 each. Sales are final, and a $2 exchange fee applies except for subscribers. Space is limited, so the venue recommends registering in advance, and seating is first come, first served.
Good to know
A solo harpist plays in the gallery, lit by hundreds of flameless candles, and guests can view the Small Town: Small Works exhibition during the performance. The event is listed as family friendly and relaxed, for ages 8 and up, and attendees under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Late arrivals cannot enter after the show starts, and the room has a mix of seated and standing areas, so plan to arrive on time. The gallery is a smaller room than a theatre, which is part of the appeal, and the exhibition on the walls gives you something to look at before and after the music.
Veterans Day Ceremony in Woodstock
When
The City of Woodstock holds its Veterans Day event on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, at 6 p.m. The city's calendar shows it running from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. and notes that city offices are closed for the holiday.
Where
The city's pages do not name a venue for the ceremony. Because of that, call the city or check the Parks and Recreation special events page before you go, so you head to the right place.
Cost
No admission fee is listed. The city says residents can honor veterans with coffee, hot chocolate and cookies, so there is no indication that tickets or registration are needed.
Good to know
The program includes remarks from local veterans' groups and city officials. The city notes that event details can change due to weather, so check the city website or social media on the day. An evening ceremony in November can be cool, so dress in layers, and consider bringing a folding chair if the setting is outdoors. City offices are closed for the holiday, so phone calls to the city on that day may not be answered, and it is better to check the city's pages in advance.
Artist Critique Night with Chase King
When
Artist Critique Night is on Thursday, November 12, 2026, at 6 p.m. The theatre's page does not list an end time, so leave the rest of the evening open.
Where
The event page names the Reeves House Gallery as the venue, which is at 734 Reeves Street, Woodstock, GA 30188, but the address field on the same page shows the Woodstock Arts Theatre at 8534 Main Street. Call (678) 494-4251 to confirm the room before you go. The Woodstock Arts event page has the description.
Cost
Admission is free. Drinks and snacks are available for purchase. No registration or age requirement is stated, and questions can be sent through the Woodstock Arts contact page.
Good to know
Local artists of any experience level can bring one or two works in progress or finished pieces to get constructive feedback, and well known local artist Chase King joins to guide the discussion. Observers are also welcome to attend and take part in the conversation, so you do not need to bring art to enjoy the evening. It is a relaxed way to see what neighbors are making and to hear how working artists talk about each other's pieces.
Questions About Woodstock Events This Week
Can I attend all four events?
Yes. The Veterans Day ceremony is on Wednesday, the critique night is Thursday evening, the theatre runs Thursday through Sunday and the candlelit concert is Saturday. Thursday evening overlaps the 7 p.m. Finding Nemo Jr. show, so choose one or catch the show on another date. The Saturday matinee at 2:30 p.m. leaves time before the concert.

Are these events good for families?
Finding Nemo Jr. is rated for all ages, and the candlelight concert is for ages 8 and up. The city has not listed an age range for the ceremony, and the critique night does not state one.
