Main Street Bath, a non-profit that partners to promote and preserve historic downtown Bath, is proud to bring back Bath’s Second Annual Winterfest! February 10th and 11th, 2023. Originally built out of the desire to bring light into the dark season of the year, Winterfest aims to bring joy and laughter to all ages.

The festival will kick off with a Lantern Parade on Friday evening. The seven foot tall Yeti, the Winterfest Mascot, will  lead the parade downtown and end with a Fire Breather performance at Library Park. This year Morse High School Drummers will be joining us and everyone is welcome to walk in the parade. Bring a source of light (flashlight, phone light, camp lantern, japanese paper lantern, etc). This is a nod to Bath’s sister city; Tsugaru, Japan.
