The iconic 315-tall Eiffel Tower will be transformed into a 300-foot-tall Christmas tree, and the well-known International Street fountains will become a large, ice-skating plaza known as Snowflake Lake.
Each night of the event, the WinterFest Wonderland Parade will provide an experience brimming with displays, performances, and decorated holiday floats with themes such as gingerbread houses, wrapped gift boxes, and toy trains. More than 100 singers and dancers will join the procession to perform on the parade route, and Santa Claus will join the Christmas festivities.
The award from the Virginia Recreation and Park Society recognized the county for its Locust Shade Warrior Challenge Course, giving it the Best New Renovation/Addition (Parks, Playgrounds, Blueways, Greenways or Trails).
“We’re proud to have created the Warrior Challenge Course as it brings a unique experience to the local community that also positively impacts the quality of life for those living both on and off the base,” says Amir Wenrich, parks department spokesman.
