Have you been dying all summer to get out to Carowinds but just could not find the time? Carowinds will be bringing Winterfest to the park in late November through December 2017, and we could not be more excited!

The family Christmas holiday event will feature millions of lights, live entertainment, specialty food items, decorations and activities!

While most people come to Carowinds for the rides, the Winterfest event will be a sensory experience that will be perfect for families and friends! Not to mention that normally when the park would be undergoing winter maintenance, we will get the chance to ride a select number of attractions.
