December is a month we’ve all been waiting for! Festive lights around town, gifts wrapped in pretty bows, and hot chocolate sipping make this time of year extra special.

Candy Cane Hunt
December 4, 2021 at 4pm
We’re all familiar with hunting for Easter eggs, but what about hunting for candy canes?
Don’t miss out on the Candy Cane Hunt in Central Park! Hunt down all the candy canes for the holiday season. The hunt ends when all the candy canes are found.
Each age group will have their own areas for the hunt. A special holiday guest will walk around to help candy cane hunters. After the Candy Cane Hunt, stay for crafts and the first annual Holiday Tree Lighting.
