OAK CREEK, WI — Winter 2020 may sometimes snow, sometimes be warm, but it's time once again for Winterfest: Oak Creek's winter celebration on Drexel Town Square.

The shops and restaurants that line the square will have specials happening during Winterfest, and there will be a bunch of things for the whole family to do outside, including: ice carving demonstrations, ice skating, carriage rides, a petting farm and more.

If people get cold, Winterfest also has warming tents and outdoor fire pits to warm up. If going outside isn't your thing, there's an indoor winter market, and a host of games and activities in the Oak Creek Public Library.
