Now’s the time to head to Anoka for Winterfest. It’s 5 days of winter fun!

We love visiting Anoka – the downtown area is definitely as cute as a Hallmark movie! We haven’t been to Anoka Winterfest yet, but it looks super fun!

From January 12th-16th, there are 5 days packed with winter fun. A combination of free and ticket events, there is something for the whole family to enjoy.

A dimly lit path in a grassy area is lined with glowing lanterns. The overcast sky and bare trees suggest a cold evening. In the distance, illuminated trees add to the tranquil ambiance.

Winterfest celebrates the joys of winter with events both indoors and out with ways to get active and also ways to sit back and relax.

Some of the highlights include a luminary walk with free hot cocoa and s’mores, snowshoeing/skiing, a free glow skate and sledding event, puzzle competition, bingo, winter crafts and more. Many of the events are free, but do require preregistration.
