Twinkling lights, the grandeur of Kings Island, music, dancing and sweet treats…lots of them! It’s WinterFest!

Looking for somewhere to take family and friends this weekend? WinterFest at Kings Island is a must do!

The event, which kicks off this Friday, Nov. 24, is an unforgettable holiday experience where Kings Island transforms into 12 enchanting winter wonderlands.

Voted as one of the top Theme Park Holiday Events in the country by USA TODAY readers in 202, WinterFest features ice skating on the Royal Fountain, the Eiffel Tower turned into a magical Christmas tree, the WinterFest Wonderland Parade, more than seven million lights, and live entertainment throughout the park. Plus, visitors can experience more than 20 rides including Mystic Timbers and Kings Mills Antique Autos.

Each night, guests will be treated to dazzling displays and extravagantly decorated floats during the WinterFest Wonderland Parade filled with classic holiday themes such as toy boxes, gingerbread houses, and trains. WinterFest’s merriment characters, singers, and dancers also will take part in this magical nighttime Christmas parade and maybe, just maybe, Santa Claus be there. (Santa Claus will totally be there!)

World class performers will put you in the spirit into your season with live shows including Swingin’ Into Christmas and the festive Cool Yule Christmas.

Chill out in the ice and snow or take a walk down Candy Cane Lane. Gather around to watch brilliant lights dance to festive holiday music or take a trip back to heart-warming holidays of yesteryear with traditional sights, sounds, and experiences.
