The annual WinterFest, organized by the City of La Porte Park and Recreation Department, returns on January 30 and 31.  Although several favorite events will not be held due to restrictions in place to stop the spread of COVID-19, we hope the community joins us in our annual WinterFest event.  It will look and feel different than in the past; however, there are events available for everyone!
