OCCOQUAN – (Press Release) The Occoquan River Communities Alliance (ORCA) is proud to present WinterFest for the 4th consecutive year, bringing areas in Lorton, Occoquan and Lake Ridge together for a full-day celebration of the season. This year’s regional event will be held Saturday, December 8, 2018 from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. at various locations.
WinterFest will feature Santa's Lake Ridge Parade celebrating this year’s theme, “Christmas Around the World.” Following the parade, which starts at 11 a.m., spectators and participants are encouraged to stay for the trophy ceremony, free hot chocolate, pictures with Santa inside Clearbrook Center of the Arts and other fun children’s activities.
"Santa's Lake Ridge Pa
rade is for the kids,” said Nancy Kyme, co-founder of WinterFest and chair of the parade committee. “It's a short route. We have a lot of Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts and local dance teams like Woodbridge Academy of Dance. When they reach the judges’ review stand, they pause for a one-minute performance, which is always fun and entertaining to watch."
