Each Season the Village is illuminated by over 1 million lights and countless displays of Christmas scenes. The project is organized by Mayor Patti Watkins and the City Board of Aldermen. The setup and construction of the decorations is a month-long undertaking and is done by many volunteers from the local area. The displays bring thousands of visitors to the small village, located in southern Chickasaw County, each year. The village also decorates for each season throughout the year. Whether it be hearts and cupids on Valentines or leprechauns and pots of gold on St Patrick's Day. Just to name a few of the yearly highlights. Most displays are created by village art director Linda Dendy. Awards: Woodland won the Title of Best Small Town in MS from the State Municipal Association in 2012. The Village of Woodland is served by the Houston School District.
