IndyGuy4KI Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I think most of us in the last few years were getting excited for Winterfest. With all the fun we are going to miss this year, post your Winterfest memories and favorite pictures! This is one of my favorite pictures that I took at Winterfest in 2017. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownInRivertown Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Winterfest is my favorite Cincinnati-area christmas attraction. They go into serious detail in every corner of the park, changing all the restaurant and shop names. The lights display beats the zoo! There’s just magic in the air. Here are some of my fav pics I’ve taken, from the last two years! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, you almost don't recognize the park from the summer with all the changes. I am very glad when they brought it back they really thought it through. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super7 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 That’s my favorite time of year to go to the park. Even if most of the rides are closed it’s just amazing being there at night with all of the lighting. based on the video that I have seen of what Carowinds is doing this year, it’s best that they just didn’t have Winterfest at all instead of something like that. Lots of tacky decorations and very few lights. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carowinds still looks nice for its guests inter event, but it has like 20% of the lights it usually has up for Winterfest. I hope Winterfest can return next year with all of its lights and live shows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDMC01 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Which one of these is not like the other lol Though I did miss Haunt lot more this year, Winterfest was cool too. I've gone outside a few times and thought it was "Winterfest weather" - where it's cold, but not too cold, but you know that it'll get a bit chillier once the sun goes down. Good times! Also, that cookie I made one time lol: I showed some friends afterward and they thought it was funny! Finally, something I had never done before 2019 WF was go in the snowglobe. I remember it was like going into space or something as they had different chambers and (IIRC) you got briefed before going into each one. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

standbyme Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I think it is great that the park went to the trouble and expense to put up the Eiffel Tower tree this year...I just wish I were there to see it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bansheelover Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I didn’t realize how much I enjoyed Winterfest until the Facebook memories began popping up, and driving by. I really miss the slower atmosphere, and family time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
