The festival kicks off with a Lantern Parade on Friday evening. The 7-foot-tall Yeti, the Winterfest mascot, will lead the parade downtown and end with a fire breather performance at Library Park. This year, Morse High School drummers will be joining. Attendees are invited to bring a source of light, whether it be a flashlight, cell phone, camp lantern or headlamp).
