Woodstock was the primary filming location for the 1993 movie Groundhog Day (although the fictional events of the movie take place in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania). Because of this, the town celebrates "Groundhog Days" at the beginning of every February, including tours of famous filming sites from the movie. The town even has its own groundhog named "Woodstock Willie", who essentially performs the same tasks as "Punxsutawney Phil" at the site of the original Groundhog Day festival. Every year on the weekend of Groundhog Day, the Classic Cinemas Woodstock Theater shows Groundhog Day for free.

Every summer, Woodstock hosts "Dick Tracy Days" to celebrate the work of one of its most famous residents, Chester Gould.
