A Weekend Celebration of Winter Fun

Don’t let cabin fever set in this winter – get out and enjoy some great winter fun
in Traverse City at Winter Wow!fest.
Traverse City is a four-season playground with fun activities year ‘round. And, there is no better time to enjoy winter fun than at Winter Wow!fest. Downtown will be alive with ice sculptures lining the streets in the Front St. district in the heart of Traverse City’s famed historic shopping district. Snow sculptures will be on display at the new Winter Wow!fest Celebration Central where the excitement will begin on Friday night with Winter, Wine and Wow! and continue all day on Saturday with non-stop events, family activities, music, food, beer and lots of fun! You won’t want to miss all the action!
Other venues for Winter Wow!fest activities includes the Grand Traverse Resort & Spa with their “Winter Fun Zone” for great family fun and the site for the spectacular winter fireworks display on Sunday night.
Mt. Holiday ski area is the site for some great downhill action with several events throughout the weekend. And, the Grand Traverse Civic Center will be the site for the crazy Winter Wow!fest co-ed snowball softball tournament.
Have a softball team and want to play? Sign up now – or put a team together and join in the fun. It’s much more about fun than competition – maybe.
