The Opening Ceremony at 10am marks the official commencement of WinterFest.

Throughout the day, attendees can engage in a myriad of activities, including children’s activities, the ever-popular outhouse races, and a Lego building contest. Most of the activities, including the craft and vendor and the art show and sale, will be between 9am and 4pm.

Other features include the Kiwanis Children’s Book Giveaway, a cake walk, a chess tournament, and the Friends of the Library Book Sale. Attendees can enjoy live musical entertainment featuring the DPHS Jazz Band & Choir, DPHS Colorguard, Soul Studio Dance, Cloverleaf Academy, and more.
