Ottumwa WinterFest: Ice, Lights, and Local Delights

For 20 years, Holiday Nights ’N Lights brought families together to celebrate the magic of the season. Beginning in 2025, we’re introducing a new holiday tradition—one that builds on that spirit in fresh and interactive ways.

Ottumwa WinterFest will take place at the Southeast Iowa Sports Center and span a full week of festive fun. With the tagline “Ice, Lights, and Local Delights,” this celebration brings together the best of the season in a new format designed for all ages.

Highlights include:

• Ice Skating Rink – Lace up your skates and make memories on the ice.
• Holiday Vendor Market – Shop local artisans and businesses for unique gifts.
• Children’s Activities – Hands-on, interactive fun to spark holiday joy and creativity.
• Seasonal Entertainment – Festive performances and community experiences to bring everyone together.

While the name and format may have changed, the heart of the event remains the same: bringing our community together to celebrate the holidays. WinterFest promises to be a new tradition for Ottumwa and the region—one filled with laughter, light, and lasting memories.

Stay tuned for schedules, ticket information, and special announcements as we get closer to this year’s WinterFest!
