Winterfest at The Landing drew hundreds, staff say
Summary
City staff reported that the first rebranded 'Winterfest' at The Landing was a success with an estimated 400–500 attendees over a 3–4 hour window and shortages of skates and hot dogs noted as signs of turnout.
John Burns briefed the council on Winterfest, the rebranded winter carnival held at The Landing, saying the event exceeded expectations. Burns credited staff for booking a band, arranging ice sculptures and programming and estimated attendance between "4 to 500 people" during a 3–4 hour window; he said organizers ran out of skates and food during the event.
Council members responded positively, calling it a "great turnout" and praising staff for the work. Burns said he looks forward to expanding the event in future years.
