Downtown White Bear Lake celebrates the holidays

Downtown White Bear Lake celebrates the holidays in style.
Get into the holiday spirit with a horse-drawn carriage ride.

Downtown White Bear Lake stores are dusting off their twinkle lights for the third annual WinterFest, which runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on December 7. Food vendors, live reindeer, horse-drawn carriage rides and photo opportunities with Santa Claus in the square will help everyone get in the holiday spirit.
   
Sponsored by the Shops and Business of Downtown White Bear Lake, Main Street Inc.,  the activities are free, although a nonperishable food item for the White Bear Lake Emergency Food Shelf is requested for a photo with Santa or a carriage ride. The fun will continue with carriage rides and photos with Santa on December 14 and 21. Washington Square, downtown White Bear Lake.
