Kick off the holidays with Ross Auxiliary's annual winter extravaganza for the Town featuring kids caroling, a live band playing jazzy holiday classics, tasty food, cocktails & wine, hot cocoa & cookies, falling snow, Santa and more! Plus enjoy Ross Auxiliary’s spectacular holiday lights, co-sponsored by RPOA. It's a festive celebration for Ross residents of all ages! So come early to see the snow, enjoy food and festive activities. Stay late to sip cocktails, mingle with neighbors and enjoy the lights!
Get in the holiday spirit early: order a Gingerbread House Decorating Kit and an elegant Holiday Wreath (coming soon). While our WinterFest event is free, please purchase a WinterFest Raffle Ticket to help support the Holiday Lights in Ross Common funded by Ross Auxiliary and RPOA.
