Get ready the holidays are just around the corner, and we’re bringing some extra magic to the season with our much-anticipated Grinch Event and the brand-new “Blades, Brew, and Food” ice skating experience!
The Grinch Event – December 19th
On December 19th, join us at the Lake Cumberland Tourism Office for a fun-filled holiday event the whole family will enjoy! Kids can drop off their letters to Santa in our special holiday mailbox, and they’ll even have the chance to pick up their replies right here! And keep your eyes open – the Grinch himself will be making an appearance. While you’re there, take a stroll through our vendor area to find last-minute holiday gifts and enjoy some free face painting for the kids.
This family-friendly event brings all the warmth of the season to life, and we’re so excited to welcome you all for an evening of community, creativity, and Christmas cheer. Plus, it’s a fantastic way for little ones to feel the thrill of sending their wishes straight to the North Pole!
