Winter Fest at Hood Park

Can’t get enough holiday wonder? Winter Fest is just what you need. From the creative minds behind Boston’s Wicked Haunt Fest, Winter Fest debuts on December 5 at Hood Park in Charlestown. The event promises to transform two acres into a winter wonderland filled with massive light displays and family-friendly holiday magic. Visitors can meet Santa on weekends and see a life-size gingerbread house and toy workshop. For adults, the Après Ski Veuve Clicquot Gondola Lounge transports guests to Aspen for a champagne toast. Look for treats like decadent hot chocolate adorned with seasonal toppings like house-made marshmallow and crushed peppermint. Beer and wine will also be available. Live music and other entertainment is planned throughout the season.
