Is it really free to attend?
Absolutely! This family friendly event is 100% free to attend. No tickets needed!
What will there be to drink?

What will there be to eat?
There will be lots of cocoa and smores themed foods to enjoy!
- Smores Waffles: If you missed them at Bright Lights or absolutely needed another one, WindsorEats is bringing back their Smores Waffle on a stick.
- Spoontastic Treats: They may be temporarily closed as they build out their new location, but they’ll have lots of chocolate goodies and cookies and more available.

Will there be live music?
Of course! Clinton Anderson will be playing a live acoustic set from 12pm to 4pm each day.
Can We Make Regular Smores?
It wouldn’t be a smores festival if you couldn’t? WindsorEats will have smores kits to rent. Why rent? Because in addition to the graham crackers, marshmallows and chocolate, you’ll also get extendable forks and a mini tabletop fire pit for you to get your smorsing on.
Is there anything else I should know?
There will be a fire pit to sit around in case you were cold but still wanted to stay outside. Also, there will be plenty of games to play, from cornhole and giant jenga outside, to board games galore inside.
