“We wanted to give all of our residents the opportunity to enjoy the holiday season in a spectacular and affordable way, which is why we’re utilizing the full 22-acre Lake Papaianni Park to host one of the largest Winter Festivals in the state,” Mayor Sam Joshi said.

Residents can expect food and craft vendors, a Winter Tavern every Saturday, hosted by Elixir Bar & Grill, an ice-skating rink, a Polar Express trackless train, over 100,000 holiday light display, Santa and Mrs. Claus, a visit from the characters of Disney's Frozen, as well as holiday musical performances by school choirs, and bands.
