The Bethesda Urban Partnership invites you to kick off the holiday season at Bethesda’s Winter Wonderland on Saturday, December 3, 2016 from 1-4pm. The celebration features holiday performances, a live ice sculpting presentation and a visit from Santa Claus in Veterans Park, located at the corner of Norfolk and Woodmont Avenues.

Blocks of ice will be transformed into wintery works of art before your eyes during the live ice sculpting presentation followed by choral performances from local school groups. Academy of the Holy Cross, Garrett Park Elementary, Georgetown Preparatory School, Oneness-Family School, Our Lady of Lourdes and Westbrook Elementary School will delight the crowd with holiday music. Additionally, Santa Claus will make a visit to the park and holiday treats and crafts will be provided to children. Bethesda’s Winter Wonderland is a free event.
