Snow Hill Waiver
To slide down the snow hills, you must complete a waiver. There are two hills based on participant height: one for riders 42 inches and under, and another for those over 42 inches. You can complete the waiver in advance online and bring a digital or printed copy to the snow hill registration booth, or you can fill out the waiver onsite during the event. Once you show proof of the completed form, you will receive a wristband, which is required to slide.
A photo booth will be available for a keepsake photo with Santa. Bring your own camera to capture the moment with holiday characters.
Food Trucks
Vendors include Raging Bull Street Tacos, JLM’s Chicken and Waffle, M&M Food Truck and Catering, Cousins Maine Lobster, and A&Y Texas Kitchen. You can bring your own refreshments; glass containers and alcohol are not allowed.
