Time & Location

The City of Attleboro and the Winter Night Fest Planning Committee are excited to announce that the 14^th Annual Winter Night Festival will be held on February 15^th from 4:30 PM – 7:30 PM! Many thanks to our long-time lead sponsor, Bristol County Savings Bank, for their generous support of this popular event. Combining family fun, art, food, entertainment, and lots of winter magic, this event is sure to shake those winter blues!

Most festival activities are free, including all rides, face painting, and caricatures! Parking for the festival can be found on downtown side roads and in the Sanford Street parking garage. For the safety of all involved, please leave pets at home.

A rain date of Feb. 16^th, 4:30 PM – 7:30 PM, will be used if weather is not cooperating. Call the weather hotline, (774) 203-1800, to make sure the event is going on as planned.

To keep the 2025 event fun and fresh, organizers have changed a few things, however, the Festival footprint will remain the same as last year, to include Park Street from Union Street, down Pine St. to Dunham St.

For reasons beyond our control, this year’s event will not include a bonfire. However, we have added new attractions to replace this beloved staple. We are now welcoming a Snow Ball Throw Station in the rear of the parking lot on Pine St, for families to have some fun tossing “snow balls” at a target. 

Some of the main attractions will be in new locations to enhance the flow of the event and help with wait times. Face painting, provided by Art on the Spot, can now be found inside the Attleboro Arts Museum with long-standing Caricature artists Adam Cristaldi and David Laferriere. We have added a third artist, Shippeetoons, this year. Jerry Shippee has years of experience creating caricatures and is excited to join the team. Both of these attractions are first come, first served. 

Mainstay attractions are back this year, including pony rides, ice carving and hayrides! While walking around the festival grounds, be sure to keep an eye out for our roaming stilt walkers and jugglers from Circus Dynamics of Providence. DJ Nate will set the atmosphere for the event with his tunes behind City Hall. Have some fun with the bumper cars again, a smashing hit from last year, located behind the Deeds Building. City Hall will host 2 Magic Shows, one at 5:30 PM, and the second at 6:45 PM in the Council Chambers. Illuminate will open for the Magician with their Puppet Theatre at City Hall for 4:45 PM. 

A fan favorite last year – don’t miss a live performance by Providence Drum Troupe, who take street performance to an artistic level. They are set to take Park Street at 5:30 PM. 

Our food court is full and features Friskie Fries, Hong Kong Treasures, Bird’s Nest Italian, Gonzalez Food Truck, Binge BBQ, Uncle Joeys Cannoli’s, Maggie’s Munchies, and Pinku. Attendees can purchase their choice of delights from their menus! 

Attleboro Jewelers has an exhibit in the Registry of Deeds Building with a pictorial of jewelry made in the past, present, and future. Also in the Deeds Building, Ramses will be on hand for a meet and greet. Heller Photography will take pictures of the mascot with festival goers, as a free keepsake from the event. Photos can be downloaded with a link after the event. Attleboro Jewelers will also set up a jewelry make-and-take station, bringing event goers back to Attleboro’s “Jewelry City” roots.
