Wilton’s Winter Carnival

Get ready for a winter blast of fun as Wilton Center is transformed into a wonderland of activities for the Wilton Chamber of Commerce‘s annual Winter Carnival! Proudly sponsored by Fairfield County Bank, the Winter Carnival will be held on Sunday, Feb. 4 from 12-4 p.m. at the Town Green with other exciting festivities simultaneously taking place around Wilton Center.

Start off the event with a whimsical horse-drawn wagon ride around the Town Center, sponsored by Kimco Realty, and watch a live ice sculpting demonstration by the Gazebo and win prizes for our scavenger hunt by finding the beautiful ice sculptures throughout town!

Additional festivities will include a magic show, character meet-and-greet with your favorite “winter princess and snowman,” and carnival performers engaging adults and young ones at the Town Green. Activities to keep the kids busy will include face painting, sand art, and crafts — all provided by our local organizations participating in the event.

A selection of food and beverage options will be available from our local food trucks, Bubble and Brew, and Cousins Maine Lobster.

Make sure to stop by the pocket park near the entrance to Schenck’s Island where the Rotary Club of Wilton will be providing a bonfire and s’mores for roasting that afternoon. Guests are also highly encouraged to visit and shop at Wilton’s local retail stores during the afternoon and enjoy a bite or beverage at one of Wilton’s fantastic restaurants while strolling to each activity.

This event is presented by event sponsor Fairfield County Bank, and supporting sponsors Kimco Realty, Riverbrook Regional YMCA, The Village Market, Wilton Library Association, and Gregory and Adams, and special participation by the Rotary Club of Wilton.

The Chamber of Commerce presents events such as the Winter Carnival to highlight the Wilton community and the businesses and organizations that make Wilton such a special place! As guests enjoy the numerous activities that day, please remember to shop, dine and support all our local businesses.
