A magical experience to remember! In Central Park West, visit with Santa, his elves and reindeer from 1-4 p.m. Hear holiday music and the joyous songs of carolers. Ice skate upon the new skating loop (if you don’t have the necessary foot gear, skate rentals are offered from noon to 5 p.m.). Find more information about ice skating in Central Park.

From noon-6 p.m., shop for gifts at the vendor fair inside the Community House. Find items including gnomes, towels, hot pads, tumblers, blankets, car coasters, air fresheners, luggage tags, afghans, rugs, hats, pillows, jewelry, Christmas decor, antiques and collectibles. Sign up to be a vendor! Gift wrapping and concessions are offered by Two Rivers High School Future Business Leaders.

City to City Candy Cane Hunt: From 9 a.m. – 3 p.m., visit parks in Two Rivers and Manitowoc and search for candy canes to earn chances at a prize! When you find a candy cane, post a selfie on Facebook with the hashtag citytocitycandycanehunt. Or email your photos to rebhan@two-rivers.org or recreation@manitowoc.org. Search in these Two Rivers parks: Central, Washington and Neshotah; and in Manitowoc parks Schuette, Lincoln and Citizen. Each child should take only one candy cane from each location. If the seal is broken, DON’T EAT IT!

Find further festivities at the Washington House. From noon to 6 p.m., enjoy unique shopping (including delightful items featuring Two Rivers). Explore the museum. Warm up with hot food, and hear live music performed by the Clipper City Chordsmen and Don Konop & The Mystic Moods.

And, of course, enjoy the bustle of downtown as you dine and shop.
