3rd Annual Hammonton Rotary Winterfest

Get ready for a festive weekend at the Hammonton Rotary Club’s 3rd Annual WinterFest, happening December 5 through 7, 2025, at the Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Carnival Grounds in Hammonton, New Jersey.

This holiday celebration offers something for everyone. Attendees are invited to browse unique crafts and wares in a 6,000-square-foot, heated vendor tent and outdoor courtyard. They can also savor delicious food; and sip beer, wine, and spirits while gathered around cozy fire pits, roasting marshmallows and making s’mores.

Live entertainment includes holiday performances by the Hammonton High School Jazz Band and Chorus, festive tunes from a DJ plus some surprise guests.

Kids will love visiting Santa, enjoying face painting, balloon animals, crafts, train rides and a letters-to-Santa station.

On Sunday, December 7, at 9:30 AM, join the inaugural Galloping Grinch 5K Run & Fun Walk — wear your best holiday costume while competing for medals. Registration required at www.runsignup.com.

The event runs:
Friday, Dec. 5, 4 PM to 9 PM; Saturday, Dec. 6, 11 AM to 9 PM; Sunday, Dec. 7, 11 AM to 4 PM

All activities take place on the spacious Our Lady of Mount Carmel Carnival Grounds, 1 Mount Carmel Lane in Hammonton. Guests are encouraged to get into the spirit of giving by donating an unwrapped toy or nonperishable food item for local families in need.
