Kings Island WinterFest 2023
Voted in 2021 as one of the top Theme Park Holiday Events in the country by USA TODAY readers, ring in the holidays with WinterFest at Kings Island on select nights November 24 through December 31
Imagine an old-fashioned winter…rosy-cheeked skaters gliding under twinkling lights, the magic of dazzling holiday attractions and carolers in traditional costumes, shops filled with ornaments, trinkets and toys, the aroma of freshly baked treats. The spirit of everyone’s favorite season is captured in an atmosphere of warmth and nostalgia at Cincinnati’s premier holiday event–a place where memories of holidays past are present; a place where memories of holiday activities are waiting to be made.
An unforgettable holiday experience for the entire family!
During Winterfest, the iconic 314-foot tall Eiffel Tower will be converted into the "world's largest Christmas tree", decorated with thousands of lights which will be seen for miles. Below the Eiffel Tower, International Street will be transformed into a colorful and quaint winter village, featuring the fun of holidays past with Christmas carolers, and homemade crafts.
