Frosty the Snowman Visits
If you’re looking for a unique, socially-distanced experience to get into the holiday spirit, please sign up for a special visit from Frosty the Snowman! Here’s how it works:
- Submit your order form (below) and a member of our staff will contact you to coordinate the details (date, time, location, etc).
- Frosty will arrive at the designated location (MUST be within Westfield) for a 5-minute visit.
- Frosty will stay outside during the visit (we don’t want him to melt) and will keep a safe distance from spectators.
- Frosty will play his favorite song (you know the tune…), pass out some goodies and snap a picture with you before he sets off to spread more holly jolly joy to the rest of Westfield!
Westfield Winter Walk
Celebrate the start of the holiday season by taking a stroll through our Westfield Winter Walk at Asa Bales Park on Friday, December 4 and Saturday, December 5 from 6-8pm. Start your walk with a free cup of hot cocoa and enjoy the scenic walk filled with holiday lights and personalized luminaries from our community. You can purchase your own luminary for just $5 each. Examples:
-
“Happy Holidays! -The Smith Family”
-
“Is 2020 over yet?”
-
“Go Rocks!”
-
“Merry Christmas, Olivia! Love, Mom & Dad”
-
“I love you, Kyle! -Emma”

And for the ultimate showstopper….”Trish, will you marry me?” !!!!!
Luminary orders must be submitted by Wednesday, December 2nd!
