Snowfall and Events EVERY Night at Now Snowing Nightly Now through December 31st
(including Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve)
Now Snowing, is by far our favorite event hosted by Celebration all year!
Now Snowing, Central Florida’s original and premier “Snowing” event, offers a new snowfall program, an ice rink and a schedule filled with surprises. Now Snowing is a month long Winter Wonderland Spectacular featuring strolling Charles Dickens Carolers, community performers, photos with Santa, horse drawn carriage rides, the Celebration Express train, and nightly snowfall at 6:00, 7:00, 8:00 and 9:00 PM.
There is nothing like catching a bite to eat (We love Sweet Escape for a sandwich, Celebration Town Tavern for the best Chowder, or The Columbia for a 1905 Salad and Sangria), playing in the snow or ‘snoap’ as we call it, and doing a little shopping as a family!
During the hourly ‘snow’ a short story plays about how it first started snowing in Celebration which is followed by really fun and upbeat Christmas music!
If you are planning on attending Now Snowing in Celebration, here are a few tips!
- Make sure that your little ones wear closed toed shoes with lots of tread on them, because the ‘snow’ can be slippery and it helps keep the little ones safe while they run around!
- You will want to make sure that you plan ahead for parking, because it can take awhile to find a parking spot…especially on the weekend or on nights with special events. And when it says ‘Resident Parking Only’, take heed because they will tow your car!
- If you think that your little one may be a snow magnet, you may want to keep a towel and even a change of clothes in your car. They lay a layer of ‘snow’ on the street before it starts ‘snowing’ so it will get everywhere!
- A lot of the shops will have specials, so make sure you peek in! (You know how much I love the Celebration Sanrio Surprises…I have a problem!)
- Don’t forget there’s a Starbucks in Celebration! It can get really busy at times, but there’s nothing like their hot chocolate when it’s ‘snowing’!!!
- Wear socks or bring them if you are thinking about skating!!! The skating rink is great, because there are refs to keep things safe and walkers to help new skaters.
- Don’t be surprised if you spend more time than you intended to at Now Snowing Nightly! You WILL get sucked in to the fun!!!
In addition to the everyday fun at Now Snowing Nightly, join us for the Orlando Sentinel Celebration of Voices on December 7th , a special Radio Disney Holiday concert with performances by Megan Nicole and Before You Exit! on December 14th and the Countdown to Christmas with National Recording Artists Ryan Cabrera and Lucy Iris on December 21st, and presented by Jarrett Automotive Group.

Have you experienced Now Snowing in 2013? I read that they aren’t letting the snow accumulate. Is that true? That seems like the most fun for the kids. Also, do you know if there is any parking for a large rv? I understand we will have to walk a distance but I wasn’t sure if spots even existed. Thank you for all this information!
I have!
No, they are letting it snow the same amount as in previous years. The ‘accumulation’ comes from when they spray a layer of snow on the street an hour before the first snow, and if there are a lot of kids playing in it before the first snow there seems to be less. I would suggest trying to go on a weekday if you can, because you’ll have a lot more room to play and take in the snow or snoap as we call it! 🙂 I would suggest looking for parking right past the school near the soccer fields, because it isn’t too far of a walk and it is often empty. I would call Celebration Town Hall at (407)5566-1200 just to be sure that is an okay place to park your RV, and they actually may have a better suggestion. I hope that this helps, and that you enjoy your visit to my home town!!! 🙂
