What a beautiful day it was for Family Day at the Arctic Adventures event at Town Park! We arrived close to lunchtime, thinking parking would be available—never realizing that many people leave for lunch.
To my surprise, all streets on all four sides of the park were filled with cars, yet more and more people kept arriving.
The weather was perfect—plenty of snow on the ground, sunny, and warm enough for some to skip their jackets.
Thumbs up for all the activities: short lines, long lines, and plenty of patience for everything—eating, jumping, sliding, and more. If someone were to photograph this family event from above, they’d see black trails on the white snow, like tracks left behind by all the fun.

The theme for the children included Toy Story, Cars 2, and the Smurfs. Yes, one of the ice carvings was a Smurf!
There was beautiful singing, people gathering around the fire, and more, as you’ll see in the photographs. Another successful Arctic Adventure.
Family Day in Ontario is celebrated with a variety of events and activities designed to bring families together and enjoy quality time. Many communities host festivals, outdoor activities like skating and sledding, and family-friendly arts and cultural events. Attractions such as museums, parks, and theaters often offer special programming or discounts, while local recreation centers provide opportunities for sports and fitness. Here in Aurora, we celebrate with the popular Arctic Adventure event at Town Park, drawing families to enjoy the winter fun and festivities.
