After the parade, folks can make their way over to Town Hill and take part in the following activities:

Refreshments
Music
Games
Face-painting
Christmas Tree Sales
50/50 Drawing (you don't have to be present to win)

In case of rain, Santa will relocate to the Lighthouse on Monroe Bay Ave.

At 4:30pm, the Town Mayor and Santa and Mrs. Claus will come together for the lighting of the Tree, and if that's not enough light for you, at 5:30pm the Lighted Boat Parade will provide an incredible display of lights, reflecting off the waters of Monroe Bay and the Potomac River. The Colonial Yacht Club organizes this annual "Show on H20" and it is breathtaking. Return from Winter Festival to Events
