Center City District Parks & Plazas

The fountains at Sister Cities Park have gone into hibernation and that means it’s time for the first-ever Sister Cities Park WINTERFEST! On Saturday, December 15, the Center City District will host this exciting FREE festival from 11am to 2pm.

Talk about fun! There will be a Holiday Treasure Hunt, Karaoke sing-a-long with Frosty the Snowman, plus seasonal arts and crafts. The event will kick off with a choir performing songs of the season. Throughout the day children will enjoy Story Art, Snowflake Science, Cold Weather Creatures, and cookie decorating.

To top it all off, Santa will be there! Make sure to bring your camera, and get ready to enjoy exciting, kid-friendly WINTERFEST!
