On January 23rd, Downtown Port Huron will be transformed into this year’s version of ChillyFest: Winter Wonderland. This one-day, family-friendly event will feature some elements of previous ChillyFests along with some brand new ways to enjoy a winter day downtown.
Those who loved searching downtown shops for penguins will still have the opportunity to participate in the Penguin Hunt, and a scavenger hunt will lead to small treasures scattered throughout downtown. Individual businesses will be celebrating in their own ways, making for a fun shopping day as well.
The ice sculptures won’t be present this year, but 5-foot tall foam snowmen will be in front of the businesses on Main Street, and each one will be dressed uniquely. Snowmen in the City will be created by the Foam All company and sponsored by local businesses. Visitors may miss the ice-sculptures, but business owners are excited about this new, non-melting way to create a Winter Wonderland downtown.
