Food vendors are open Friday through Sunday, curated by Streat Eats Market featuring Afro Pizza, Apple Donut Company, Brickyard BBQ and tons more.
Winter Fest offers plenty of interactive displays all under dazzling lights,
And the brand new Winter Maze provides twinkling paths while hunting for characters like the wandering yeti. Snap a pic to win a prize!
