Deer Park WinterFest January 16, 2027
Does Deer Park still want WinterFest?
In 1985 the first Winter Festival was held in Deer Park. It was organized by a community group and celebrated our small town. Over the years the Deer Park WinterFest committee has been challenged with declining interest, sponsorship and insurance needs and lack of volunteers. The Kiwanis club of Deer Park stepped up in the early 2000’s to provide sponsorship and cover insurance for the event allowing the yearly celebration to continue. While the Deer Park Kiwanis club does help organize the event and schedule WinterFest meetings their club CANNOT run and operate the entire event with their limited membership. Every Winterfest event requires an event host to organize, plan and run that event. Over the years the event volunteers have dwindled, causing events to disappear.
If Deer Park wants to continue this tradition, then we need VOLUNTEERS to step up NOW to participate.
The next WinterFest meeting is Wednesday October 14, 2026 at 6pm at the Deer Park Pizza Factory. The WinterFest committee and Deer Park Kiwanis MUST have enough interest from the community to continue.
Thank You
