The Bethesda Urban Partnership invites you to kick off the holiday season at Bethesda’s Winter Wonderland on Saturday, Dec. 5 from 1-4pm. This FREE celebration features choral performances by local schools, a live ice sculpting presentation and a visit from Santa Claus. All activities take place in Bethesda’s 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 School, Oneness-Family School, Our Lady of Lourdes, Watkins Mill High School and Westbrook Elementary School will delight the crowd with holiday music.
