Snowman Spectacular

Community-Wide Snowman-Building Competition

December 6-20, 2024

Snowman Spectacular is returning for its second year, promising even more fun and excitement! This year’s festivities kick off on Friday, December 6, from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM at the Calhoun Recreation Department – 110 Recreation Drive, with an all-new, family-friendly event brimming with activities for all ages.  Join us for a magical evening featuring delicious food trucks, train rides, whimsical “snow,” crafts, a visit to Santa’s Workshop, and the unveiling of this year’s snowman entries.

But the celebration doesn’t end there! From December 6th to 20th, stroll down the paved path at the Calhoun Recreation Department to admire the dazzling display of snowmen crafted by local businesses, organizations, and residents.  And here’s the twist – these snowmen won’t be made of snow! Crafted from weather-resistant materials, they’ll stand proudly, defying the elements.  Everyone is invited to stop by and vote for their favorite snowman, with prizes awarded for both People’s Choice and Judges’ Favorite.
