The entire event is the largest of its kind in Gettysburg because it invites the entire community to participate in a way where community activities become the festival experience. There really will be something for everyone—families, Civil War buffs, people who love the holidays. This event brings people together like no other.”

The Snowflake Soiree kickoff event is a special production by Dylan Weibel in collaboration with StarFire Corporation, FireOne and HERC equipment rentals. The music-concert caliber show will feature choreographed lights, pyrotechnics and sound.
