FRANKLIN, Wis. (CBS 58) -- Those who are already dreaming of a white Christmas, even in August, can look forward to a special event that has been announced to whet any festive appetite.

The SnowGlobe Holiday Festival will take place at Ballpark Commons from Sunday, Nov. 24 to Tuesday, Dec. 31. The festival is being presented by Enchant, who brought Enchant Christmas to Franklin Field in 2023.

Among the attractions that are billed to be featured are a snow globe-inspired light maze, a Christmas pop-up bar, visits with Santa and Mrs. Claus, ice skating, caroling, snow tubing, a Christmas Village with vendors offering holiday gifts and more, according to a Thursday, Aug. 1 press release.
