Whimsical Winter Walk

Whimsical Walk

November 29th |  4pm-7pm

Sand Hill Park 

Experience the magic of the season at Sand Hill Park! Join us for a festive celebration filled with games, crafts, and winter fun. Stroll beneath the sparkle of holiday lights and warm up by flickering campfires. You'll be sure to feel the warmth of the season.  

Enjoy hot, buttery rolls and peanuts courtesy of Texas Roadhouse, and sweet candy cane treats from the Essex Police Department. Essex Parks & Recreation will keep the marshmallows roasting for everyone to enjoy.

Little ones can write and mail a letter to the North Pole via our special "Letters to the North Pole" mailbox.  Be sure to include your return address... you may just receive a message back from the big man himself.  

Create a keepsake ornament, decorate cookies, and enjoy seasonal movies, music, and a holiday read-aloud with Emily from the Essex Free Library. Plus, don’t miss the dazzling SD Ireland light truck and local light enthusiast Troy Austin’s festive display.

Celebrate the season with Essex Parks and Recreation!

This event is appropriate for all ages with a short 1/8 mile walk on mostly flat, paved surfaces. No registration required.
