Winterfest and a NEW Holiday Artisan Market promise to be a wonderful addition to the holiday season. Holiday entertainment, caroling, tree lighting, ice carving demonstrations, and local artisans and small businesses showcasing their holiday treats will fill this wonderful evening of fun for the whole family. The combination of these community activities will celebrate our community's rich cultural heritage and showcase the unique talents of local artisans, small businesses, and nonprofits. The rain date for this event is December 7.  Winterfest is a joint effort by the Newark Parks and Recreation Department, the University of Delaware and The Newark Partnership.  The Delaware Special Olympics will be holding their Annual Reindeer Run in conjunction with Winterfest (www.sode.org)
