Winter is roaring in with dangerous wind chills this weekend, so we are postponing our Winterlude festival one week. We hope you'll update calendars and join us as temperatures move back into the 20s and 30s.

Our free festival has something for everyone, so let's smash the winter doldrums and celebrate together! Come meet your neighbors and enjoy outdoor activities, a cozy fire, tasty refreshments, local music, and fun crafts. And, if you bring your own drinking vessel, we'll give you a free Old East End souvenir (while supplies last)!

Event description:
Winterlude is a winter celebration that offers outdoor activities for young, old and in between. Activities include snowshoeing, sledding, cross-country skiing, nature walks, Story Walk®, music, fire pit, hot beverages and refreshments.
