Winterfest is sure to be fun for the whole family this year in Downtown White Bear Lake on Saturday, December 6th and Saturday, December 13th!

Have you been to Downtown White Bear Lake? It’s a very cute downtown filled with unique shops and tasty restaurants to explore. Personally it’s one of my favorite downtown areas and it’s even more fun during the holiday season, because they go all out for events!

You couldn’t pick a better day to visit White Bear Lake than Winterfest now held on two Saturdays this year: December 6th and December 13th from 10am to 2pm both days. Visit with Santa, take a horse-drawn trolley ride, join in the elf hunt, find unique gifts at their specialty shops, and enjoy a hearty meal or cocktail at any of their outstanding eateries.

Here’s the Winterfest schedule:

  • 10am – 2 pm: Santa at 4 Deuces Saloon
  • 10am – 2pm: Horse-Drawn Trolleys. Board the trolley at 4th and Cook. It’s completely free with cash/food donations for the WB Area Food Shelf.
  • Elf Hunt– pick up a passport at participating businesses, find the elves hidden in 20 or more of the stores, then turn in your passport for a chance to win a Grand Prize.
  • Check out the locally made ice sculptures
  • Warm up at the WBLAHS Festival of Trees in the Armory
