About Welcome to Winter:

Welcome To Winter is an annual WinterKids celebration of fun ways to stay active in winter. Originally created to welcome new Mainers to winter, the event has expanded to allow all kids across the community to come and try out healthy ways to remain active outdoors during the winter months.

This free event offers a chance to get outside and try new activities like: Snowshoeing, Nordic and downhill skiing, snowboarding, snow sculpting, and more while enjoying hot chocolate and s’mores. There will also be fun “out-DOOR” prizes, and a sled giveaway, courtesy of our friends at Flexible Flyers!
