Where Winter Comes to Life in STMA
WinterFest at Town Center Park is more than a holiday event. It’s a celebration of community, connection, tradition, and everything that makes STMA feel like home.
Each December, Town Center Park transforms into a winter gathering place filled with lights, music, laughter, and a little bit of holiday magic. Families bundle up and come together for wagon rides, firepits and s’mores, live entertainment, games and activities, visits with Santa & Mrs. Claus, food, local organizations, and plenty of surprises along the way.
But the best part of WinterFest isn’t any one attraction.
It’s seeing our community together.
Neighbors run into neighbors. Kids make memories with their families. Local businesses step forward to sponsor activities. Volunteers give their time. Community organizations work side-by-side. And for one winter day, Town Center Park becomes a place where thousands of little connections remind us why this is such a special place to call home.
A Tradition With Deep Roots
The spirit behind WinterFest goes back to 2012, when STMA Rotary began a community winter celebration and introduced the tradition of recognizing a local Cheermeister—someone whose service and spirit exemplify what makes our community special.
That spirit continues today.
WinterFest has grown through the collaboration of local service organizations, businesses, volunteers, community partners, and residents who believe that strong communities don’t just happen.
We build them. Together.
Now celebrating its 6th year as WinterFest at Town Center Park, the event continues to grow while staying true to a simple idea:
Create a place where everyone in our community can come together.
Whether you’re here to visit Santa, warm up around a fire, hunt for the WinterFest Medallion, grab something delicious to eat, sing along to holiday music, or simply wander through the park with your family—we hope you leave with something even better:
A memory of your community at its very best.
Because WinterFest isn’t really about winter.
It’s about home.
