Winterfest 2020 will be slightly adjusted to maximize social distancing during this pandemic, but not cancelled!  Winterfest in Wellington has been a family fun event anticipated annually during the holiday season.  We could not imagine a year without Winterfest, so…the organizers created the Winterfest 2020 “Live from Your Ride” Drive In!

It is a wonderful way to enjoy an evening of music, dancing and of course Winterfest favorite “Vanilla Ice” performing while you enjoy the festivities from your own individual car!

The health and safety of attendees, artists, crews, and staff is the top priority. This newly designed format will maximize social distancing and will meet all local health and safety standards, as well as state regulations.
