Vernon is set to become even more festive as we head into the holiday season.

The Downtown Vernon Association (DVA) is kicking things off with a new free event, called Frostival, on Friday Nov. 29th.

In a media release, the DVA said the sparkling street festival will be jam-packed with free music, vendors, holiday characters, oversized decor, photo op areas and festive activities for the entire family!

Buildings and the streets of the 4 block event on 30th Ave., will be lit up between (30th Street – 34th Street), from the Kal to Scattered Goods.

Shop local and check items off your Christmas list early, from any businesses and services.

These roads will be closed early for set up, but the organizers said they’d received a FREE PARKING DAY from the City. All meters are also free that day.

Each block will have vendors, food trucks, music, activities, entertainers and so much more. There will be numerous areas for photo ops, to get your family Christmas cards done.

As you’d expect, the jolly old fella is set to make a grand entrance that night (and will be available for sELFies). The 3400 block will host a main stage, for our party bands. Businesses are decking their halls with amazing items to help you stuff your stockings and fill your bellies. Dress warm, bring your family (and pets) and let’s kick off the season together.

Frostival will take place the day before the DVA kicks off ‘Christmas Saturdays’! There will be free photos with Santa, elves, carolers, free parking, music and of course the best shopping in town (Nov. 30, Dec. 7, 14 & 21).

Many businesses will be hosting ‘Shop Late ‘Til 8’, Thursdays in December.
