Frosty Fest comes to Gurnee’s Viking Park Jan. 6

Posted December 22, 2023 9:20 am

On Saturday, Jan. 6 from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., Viking Park, 4374 Old Grand Ave., Gurnee, will turn into a winter wonderland for Frosty Fest.

This free, community event is a great way to embrace the cold. Bundle up and enjoy outdoor sleigh rides, games, crafts, bumper cars and more. Then, warm up at the hot cocoa bar in the Dance Hall followed by s’mores by the fire.

Frosty Fest is held outdoors, so please be sure to dress for the weather. The Viking Park Dance Hall will be open for guests to warm up indoors. This is where the free hot chocolate and coffee will be served.

Special guests include our sponsors, Advocate Aurora Health, Honey Orthodontics and BCU.

Few tips for the day:

• Parking will be available by Viking Park’s baseball fields and across the street at Viking Middle School.

• Don’t forget your hats, gloves, scarfs, boots and extra layers to stay warm.

• Should there be threat of rain or inclement snow, please check Gurnee Park District’s rainout line for updates. Gurnee Park District will make an announcement by 8 a.m. on Saturday, Jan. 6.

• Please note that certain activities are dependent on cold weather conditions.
