Winterfest Returning to Kings Island in 2017

Last month, when announcing Mystic Timbers, Kings Island’s new wooden roller coaster, the park mentioned that they had a second announcement to make in August. Today, among other Cedar Fair 2017 announcements, Kings Island announced that Winterfest will be returning to the park after a 12 year hiatus.

The focal point of the Kings Island version of WinterFest will be the world’s largest Christmas tree display with the park’s iconic 314-foot tall Eiffel Tower decorated with thousands of lights which will be seen for miles.

Below the Eiffel Tower, International Street will be transformed into a colorful and quaint winter village, featuring the fun of holidays past – outdoor ice skating on the park’s Royal Fountain, Christmas carolers, and homemade crafts.

Tasty foods, colorful gifts, live stage shows, fun rides, and of course, Santa’s workshop will all be part of WinterFest’s warmth and excitement.

Rides will include the Grand Carousel and a journey through the park’s Rivertown area on an authentic steam train.

Operating dates, hours and ticket prices for WinterFest will be announced at a later date. The event will be included for 2017 Gold and Platinum season passholders.
