Winterfest forecast? Get ready for snow flurries, hot cocoa and fun


The lighting of Attallah Piazza with thousands of twinkling white lights for the winter holidays is a sight to behold. But within days of their debut at the annual Winterfest celebration, students dive into finals and head home. To give everyone a little more time to enjoy the display, Winterfest this year is Wednesday, Nov. 18.

Bring a sweater. Last year’s Winterfest was doggone cold.


So invite the neighbors and get ready for one of Chapman University’s jolliest traditions. The festivities begin at 5 p.m. with free cocoa, live performances of seasonal music by student ensembles and a dramatic reading of
‘Twas the Night Before Christmas
. Doy’s Holiday Tree — named for Trustee Doy Henley – will be illuminated, along with the other festive trees throughout Attallah Piazza. Photos with Santa will follow at 6 p.m.

And there will be surprises. We hear the weather report may call for a bit of snow!

Admission is free and open to the public.
