Downtown Clearwater lit up with holiday cheer on December 2nd as hundreds gathered to celebrate the Silver Jubilee of Winter Wonderland! Now in its 25th year, this beloved holiday village—hosted by the Clearwater Community Volunteers and the Church of Scientology—has become a cherished tradition for families across Pinellas County.
Located at Osceola Park on the corner of Drew Street and North Fort Harrison Avenue, Winter Wonderland transforms the park into a festive holiday oasis, complete with twinkling lights, family-friendly activities, and the true spirit of the season.
The grand opening celebration featured music, carolers, Christmas lights, and plenty of joy as the community came together to mark this special milestone. From the dazzling holiday displays to visits with Santa, Winter Wonderland continues to create lasting memories for children and adults alike.
The festival runs Wednesday through Sunday from 6 to 9 p.m. until December 22, 2018, offering train rides, cookie decorating, a petting zoo, a playground, and more—all for a suggested donation that benefits local children’s charities.
Thank you to the countless volunteers and supporters who make Winter Wonderland possible year after year. Here’s to 25 years of joy—and many more to come!
