Department of Energy and Environmental Protection No Child Left Inside®

DEEP’s annual FREE family Winter Festival provides fun for the entire family with many exciting and fun winter activities taking place from 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. 

Children and adults can spend time together outdoors and try ice fishing (ice dependent), go on a hike, try snowshoeing, play winter games, and view a host of demonstrations from LL Bean,  Resources in Search and Rescue (rescue dogs), and more.  Families may also gather around fire pits for a good old-fashioned marshmallow roast and enjoy story-time by the bonfire.
