Participate in our second annual WinterFest at Heritage Park on January 27, 2018, 10 AM to 2 PM to be held at the Black Canyon Heritage Park (33955 S.

This event offers curious participants of all ages and physical abilities a variety of discovery experiences to instill respect, responsibility, and stewardship for the surrounding area. While at the Park, you can tour the Old Cañon School Museum and stroll around the Heritage Park while enjoying an afternoon of live music with Jeff Paris. Items of special interest to children of all ages are: Smokey the Bear and live reptiles!
