Lake Havasu City’s Winterfest Is Not to be Missed
Don’t bring your snowshoes, but bring your walking shoes! Winterfest, a 27-year annual celebration of winter visitors, local residents and seasonal fun, returns to Lake Havasu City on Feb. 11-12.
More than 40,000 visitors will rub elbows along a two-mile aisle of vendors along the center of McCulloch Boulevard, flanked by shops, bars and bistros – 250 vendors packed into 425 spaces and 200 licensed storefront businesses, many with sidewalk sales. You’ll also find an Off-Road Zone, featuring ATVs and bikes – the toys you need to explore our natural surroundings.
There’s entertainment throughout the day, as well as things to do for the kids – pony rides, bungee rides, a climbing wall, arts & crafts and more. Hungry? Graze your way through an assortment of food booths. For adults there will be a beer garden adjacent to the Pearl Bailey Showmobile, a moveable stage named for late famed singer who was a part-time resident of Lake Havasu City.
Visitors like to stop at the Chamber’s booth to put pushpins into a large-scale map of North America indicating the town and state – or province if they’re Canadian – which they call home. Times: Sat 10-5, Sun 10-4. There is no admission charge.
