Fans can stroll through a "Charity Tree Village" featuring Christmas trees decorated by nonprofits in the region. A "Merry, Merry Market" featuring local artisans, vendors, and small businesses presents holiday shopping opportunities. Proprietors can sign up at polarpark.com/wooville.

After its debut Thursday, December 4, the festival runs 6-9 p.m. Thursday-Sunday nights through December 18, then every night through Tuesday, December 23. Tickets are $18 for adults and $12 for children when purchased in advance. Ticket prices will increase the day of the event. Kids two years old and under are free.

Groups of 15 people or more are asked to purchase their tickets in advance. Group tickets are $13 apiece.

All are invited to register for the "Charity Tree Village" tree-decorating competition by visiting polarpark.com/wooville. Festival attendees will vote on their favorite trees, and the winner, which will be announced at the conclusion of the festival, can select a nonprofit to receive a $5,000 donation from the WooSox.

Throughout the ballpark, the WooSox will sell hot cocoa, mulled cider, fresh-baked cookies, roasted nuts, and more seasonal treats.

The festival is a rain, snow, or shine event. If inclement weather prevents attendance by fans who have already purchased tickets, the WooSox will work to exchange tickets for another day.

Winter in Wooville is the WooSox' first large-scale, multi-day winter festival. It follows the ballpark's first large-scale Halloween event in October, "Boo in the Woo." On select dates from October 9-31, the two-part festival will transform Polar Park into an adult experience with fictional haunted features, and on weekends will present a family-friendly event for children.
