From Tuesday, Dec. 3, to Friday, Dec. 6 – from 4 to 8 p.m. each evening – the heart of UWG's campus in Carrollton will be transformed into a festive holiday destination. Visitors can admire light sculptures created by UWG art and computer science students, enjoy live performances of holiday music and catch theatrical shows. There will also be fun activities for families and friends, including DIY holiday crafts and a cookie-decorating demonstration (both available at additional cost). 

One event highlight is the opportunity to meet Santa Claus and Winter Wolfie, where guests can take photos and create lasting holiday memories. The Holiday Village will also feature local vendors offering arts, crafts and other seasonal products.

In addition, attendees can support the community by donating toys for Toys for Tots or nonperishable food and hygiene items to UWG’s Center for Integrative Wellness to support students on campus.  

To make the experience even better, food vendors will be on hand each night with a selection of meals, drinks and sweet treats. The festivities will wrap up on Friday night with a special outdoor holiday movie screening. 

Whether you’re a student, alumni or community member, Winter West Wonderland is the perfect opportunity to celebrate the season with loved ones and enjoy all that UWG has to offer! Visit the Winter West Wonderland webpage for more information.
