What’s Happening:

  • Snowshoeing*: Strap on a pair of snowshoes and explore the winter wonderland, thanks to our friends from Buffalo Niagara Waterkeeper. A great way to get outdoors, enjoy the fresh air, and experience Buffalo’s winter beauty.
  • Snow Fort Building*: Unleash your inner architect and build an epic snow fort with family and friends! Whether you’re making a simple fortress or a snow palace, it’s all about creativity and fun.
  • Nature & active activities for all ages: Our wonderful partners will be hosting activities for all ages! Build a birdhouse with West Side Community Services, learn more about the plants & nature in the park with Western New York Land Conservancy, play sports with the Belle Center, enjoy giant lawn games with Say Yes Little Scholars, spin the wheel and win prizes with Big Big Table, create an indoor garden with Grassroots Gardens, and more!
  • Hawk Creek Wildlife Center will be there at 2pm with a Tiny Talons presentation – three small birds of prey on display!
  • Great Music by DJ Daren (Doc) Thomas: Feel the beat with live music that’ll keep your spirits high all afternoon long. Let the sounds of winter tunes make the day even more festive!
  • Hot Cocoa & Warming Station: After you’ve had your fill of fun, warm up with some delicious hot cocoa and hang out by our cozy warming station. It’s the perfect way to recharge and keep the winter chill at bay.
