Arts & Entertainment

Winterfest '12

The family-oriented event will include food, fun and parades featuring pets and children.

Attendees will enjoy grilled food, live entertainment for all ages, arts and crafts vendors, a patriotic children’s parade to include a full color guard and fire trucks, and a pet parade for pet owners to show off their favorite furry, feathered, or other non-human friends.

There will be plenty of activities to keep kids busy and entertained, including a bounce house, crafts and face painting. Children are encouraged to dress up a bicycle or wagon, as well as themselves and join the expanded half-mile long patriotic parade.

Grown-ups will find plenty to do as well. There will be a street party complete with beer truck.

The event, which celebrates the wonderful weather and IRB community, also supports Calvary Episcopal Church’s Community Food Pantry and the Indian Rocks Volunteer Fireman’s Association. Funds will be raised through a silent auction, bake sale and raffles.
