Historic Smithville Park will be transformed into a winter wonderland of fun and holiday magic during the upcoming Winterfest celebration. Jersey Sound Chorus will be there roaming the festival while caroling throughout the late afternoon and evening, right up through the tree lighting ceremony!
The annual festival celebrating all things winter will feature many of the enchanting sights and attractions that make it among the region’s most popular holiday activities. “Smithville is beautiful all year, but decorated with lights and garland is spectacular. Attending Winter Fest is a great way to welcome the joyful season and see the park in all its holiday splendor,” said Burlington County Commissioner Director Felicia Hopson. Visitors to the park will marvel at the sights of the Victorian village and mansion decked out in holiday finery and the characters donning Victorian attire, along with other free activities both indoors and outdoors throughout the park.
Some of the planned activities and attractions include:
* Jersey Sound Chorus caroling with their special Jingle Belles holiday guest singers!
* Meet Santa Claus in Victorian attire.
* See a performance of Charles Dickens’ classic “A Christmas Carol.”
* Marvel at ice sculptures being carved.
* Lace up a pair of skates and take a lap or two around the synthetic ice rink
* Join the elf hunt and help Buddy the Elf gather his friends so they can return to the North Pole in time for the holiday.
* Find a special gift in the Holiday Marketplace.
* Enjoy s’mores by a bonfire or wine and mulled cider in the beer garden.
* Ride the trackless train through Smithville.
* Other live music, food trucks, cookie decorating, and much more!
