===Festivals and events===
The first Winlock Egg Days Festival was held in 1921 after a paved road (now [[Washington State Route 505|State Route 505]]) was completed between the town and the extinct community of Cowlitz. Known at first as the "Poultry and Egg Day", the annual event incorporates the city's poultry history and a local resident is honored as a festival marshal.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Roland |first1=Mitchell |title=Winlock Egg Days Festival gets cracking Friday through Sunday |url=https://www.chronline.com/stories/winlock-egg-days-festival-gets-cracking-friday-through-sunday,341923 |work=The Chronicle |date=June 12, 2024}}</ref>
