The University of West Georgia’s 5th annual Winter West Wonderland will be back next month – with expanded opportunities for holiday festivities for the whole community.
From Tuesday, Dec. 1, through Friday, Dec. 4, UWG’s Carrollton campus will transform into a wonderland of lights, music and holiday cheer from 4-8 p.m. each evening, with engaging activities for everyone.
A tree lighting ceremony will help kick off the festivities on Tuesday, Dec. 1, at 6 p.m., with a golf cart parade taking place beforehand at 5:30 p.m.
Visitors can enjoy performances by UWG Music, view sculptures designed and crafted by UWG art and computer science students, and enjoy food and sweet treats from vendors. The Holiday Village will feature vendors selling arts, crafts and other unique gifts for everyone on your list.
Santa Claus and Winter Wolfie will also be at Winter West Wonderland. Meet them both for the perfect photo opportunity to create lasting holiday memories.
To close out the week of holiday cheer, on Friday, Dec. 4, at 5 p.m. there will be a Chili Cookoff on the Campus Center Patio, a Fun Run beginning at 6 p.m. and a Friday Night Lights 5K beginning at 6:15 p.m.
The event also encourages giving back to the community, with opportunities to donate to Toys for Tots or nonperishable food and hygiene items to support students in need.
Winter West Wonderland is open to the greater community – whether you’re a student, alumni or community member, UWG welcomes you to enjoy the magic of the season and all it has to offer. For more information and a list of festivities, please visit westga.edu/winter.
