This festive outdoor active event invites parents, toddlers, and youth to dress in their favorite holiday sweaters, Santa hats, and festive reindeer antlers for an invigorating, scenic 1.5-mile family walk along the paved lakeside trail. Along the route, participants encounter interactive holiday cheering stations, costumed winter characters like frosty snowmen and gingerbread figures, and cheerful holiday tunes.
