USA Special Event Description:
A great way to beat the Winter Blues is to come on down to the Annual Winter Festival at the Burlington Waterfront Park! Dress warm and be ready to watch some extreme jumping in to the freezing Lake Champlain, snow carvers transforming a 2ton block of snow in to art, or Our Police and Firefighters playing Broomball. Lots of activities for the kids: snow hill playground, snowman garden, ice skating, dog sled and wagon rides. Take a lunch break then ride the Snowflake Express, with music and actors. The Family Expo is full of free crafts and activities for children. Finish the day off with a free music performance at the Community Boathouse!
