WinterFest features the lighting of the municipal Christmas tree by the Henderson City Council, a weekend festival village with live youth choir and orchestra performances, and the grand Evening Light Parade down Water Street. Illuminated floats from local schools, civic groups, marching bands, and costumed performers fill the night with sparkling color, culminating in Santa's float. Activities include gingerbread house displays, craft stations, carnival games, and visits with Santa at the Henderson Events Plaza. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: Water Street features level sidewalks, wide plaza promenades, and ADA ramps throughout the event area. • Nursing & Rest Spots: Family restrooms with changing facilities are accessible inside Henderson City Hall and the Events Plaza. • Age Suitability: Welcoming to all ages, from babies to seniors. • Sensory Tips: Bright parade floats and marching band brass; viewing areas further down Water Street offer a calmer, less congested parade experience. ## Similar picks in Las Vegas - [WinterFest Tree Lighting & Drone Show — Henderson](https://grassyknees.com/las-vegas/activities/winterfest-tree-lighting-and-drone-show-henderson--listing-ea761bb138f3408b6e39f71c) — Thu, Dec 3 · 5:00 PM – 7:30 PM · Water Street Plaza, Henderson · All ages · Free · checked Oct 27.
