Saturday features many events, but the holiday outdoor lighting contest Wednesday during the last week of November kicks off the festival’s list of fun activities.
Plenty of activities abound, including a silent auction, live entertainment, and lunch served by the Winsted royalty Saturday at the Legion Club.
While lunch is served, the most popular guy of the Christmas season visits, “making his list and checking it twice.” It’s a perfect opportunity for the children to tell Santa Claus what they want for Christmas.
Other events include wagon rides given through downtown Winsted.
A fundraiser dinner is usually featured at the Winsted Legion Club, as well as a bake sale and holiday social at Holy Trinity School cafeteria offered by Holy Trinity’s Council of Catholic Women.
Visiting royalty go caroling at St. Mary’s Assisted Living/Linden Wood Apartments.
There is also a lighted Christmas parade, Saturday evening, with royalty from the surrounding area taking part.
