About this event

A free winter celebration featuring sledding, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, ice skating, and a bonfire with s'mores.

What to Expect

  • 1.Dress in warm, layered clothing and waterproof boots with good traction. You’ll be outdoors for most of the afternoon, so bring extra gloves and a hat.
  • 2.Plan your time so you can try sledding, cross‑country skiing, snowshoeing, and ice skating without crisscrossing crowds.
  • 3.Arrive early if you can; parking at Rouge Park tends to fill up and lines can form near popular activities.
  • 4.There’s a bonfire with s’mores—dress warmly and follow safety directions from staff, especially around the flames.
  • 5.Bring water and snacks or check if cooling stations/food vendors are available; keep an eye on the event’s updates for any changes.
