Kissimmee Extravaganza Christmas Festival: Saturday, 12/9/2006
12 noon - ???

Have you heard about this awesome festival and just not gotten down there? It's awesome. It can be FREE if you bring your own snacks along.

It's located in the Lake Toho area of Kissimmee, along their waterfront. Parking on the outskirts/side streets is your best bet for getting out of there easier. They also have a pick up spot at Albertsons grocery store on John Young Parkway/Bermuda Avenue. Check the newspaper, too.

SNOW PIT: It's free! They have a snow pit where the kids can go in for a certain amount of time and play in the snow. Some make snow angels, others make snowballs, and sometimes they have workers helping out with slip n' slide. For those kids who've never seen snow, this event is a Kodak moment.
TIP: Kids - wear gloves. Parents - bring change of clothes for kids, just in case there's a need to change out of, perhaps, wet clothing.

FREE "RIDES" - Bounce houses, huge air-filled slides, train rides - all compliments of the town's utility department. And, free hot chocolate.

ENTERTAINMENT: On stage, there are a variety of performances that go on throughout the day. Dancing, singing, comedy, and sometimes Radio Disney.

PAY AREAS: There are plenty of food & game booths that help support their different causes. BUT, you can keep your costs down to a minimum if you take advantage of all the FREE they offer.

PARADE: When dusk falls, there is a nice, long parade. Celebrities, characters, floats, music, and candy.

Pack some warmer clothing and gloves if you plan to stay for the parade.
