Just a reminder that while all the garden beds have been put to rest for the winter, there are still lots of things to do and see at the Oasis! Make sure you bring the kiddos by for a free book.

Getting ready for Winterfest! Who wants to help? Volunteers needed.

Help us make Winterfest 2026 the most magical year yet! ✨🎄

Winterfest is one of Connersville’s favorite holiday traditions, bringing families together, welcoming visitors downtown, and filling our historic streets with a little extra holiday magic.

Following the devastating flooding in our community and the cancellation of this year’s Whitewater Valley Railroad holiday excursions, bringing that magic to local families feels more important than ever.

We're working hard to make December 4–5 a memorable weekend, with Santa and Mrs. Claus, free horse-drawn carriage rides, live entertainment, children's activities, the Winter Market, and more!

But it takes a community to make Winterfest possible. We're inviting individuals, families, and businesses to join us in supporting this year's celebration. Every penny counts, and contributions of any size make a difference. Your generosity helps keep Winterfest free and welcoming for everyone.

If you'd like to contribute, donations may be mailed to:

City of Connersville Festivals Committee
Memo: Winterfest 2026
500 North Central Avenue
Connersville, IN 47331

Have questions or want to learn more about getting involved? Send us a message! We'd love to hear from you.

Thank you for continuing to invest in our community and helping us carry this special tradition forward. Let's make this the most magical Winterfest yet! ❤️🎅
