Winterfest returns to Arvada
INSIDE THIS ISSUE
Festival brings multicultural fun BY LILLIAN FUGLEI SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA
With sunny skies and streets clear of snow, Arvada kicked off festival season with its winteriest festival of the year. Feb. 25 marked the 6th Annual Winterfest — a celebration of diverse cultures. The fest filled McIlvoy Park with family friendly fun and performances throughout the day. To kick things off, Arvada’s dogs got to flaunt their style with the ugly sweater contest and pet parade. Participating pups were dressed to the nines in a variety of sweaters—everything from homemade knits to matching “Best Friends” sweaters. Afterwards, a variety of culturally diverse performances took the stage at McIlvoy Pavillion. Starting with a live mariachi performance by Sangre Mexicana Denver, the stage was then filled with dragon and lion dances performed by the Colorado Asian Cultural Heritage Center. SEE WINTERFEST, P4
