Winter Wonderland Holiday Experience

The Winter Wonderland Festival was nothing short of magical—an unforgettable weekend where downtown Caldwell transformed into a sparkling scene straight out of a Hallmark movie. Thousands gathered to stroll beneath over one million twinkling lights, shop from more than 60 local artisans, sip hot cocoa, skate the ice ribbon, cozy up by the fire pits, and meet Santa, Mrs. Claus, superheroes, and beloved characters. It was an incredible kickoff to the season!
