Check the forecast for a flurry of entertainment at the annual Winter Carnival on Saturday, February 7, 2026, from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM at 401 Oriana Road (the old Kmart site). This festive event promises a winter wonderland of carnival-themed activities for all ages.

Lace up and let the good times roll on an outdoor roller-skating rink. Whether you’re a seasoned skater or just finding your balance, don’t miss the chance to create lasting memories. Skating is free, and skates are provided. Guests will also enjoy free face painting, kids’ crafts, two mechanical carnival rides (Firestorm and The Joker), bounce houses, hair tinseling, gamer bus, print photo booth, strolling costumed characters, and more! A lively DJ will keep everybody moving with the hottest line dances, and a variety of food trucks will serve up warm treats throughout the afternoon. Food vendor prices vary.

Dough Haus will provide free hot doughnuts, and Ben & Jerry’s will provide free hot chocolate and caramel apples, while supplies last!

“We are excited to partner with Councilman Marcellus Harris for his annual Re-Up School Supply Drive, a community initiative dedicated to equipping families with essential school supplies,” said Torrance Archie, Newport News Parks & Recreation Director. This year's community initiative features The Miracle Project, which generously provides free scarves, hats, and gloves to children in need. The CoLink Foundation offers information on housing resources, including rent and utility assistance. Additionally, the Garris Group Family Services will be on-site, offering valuable mental health resources, information, and support to promote mental health wellness in the community. Together, these efforts aim to create a supportive and uplifting environment for families in Newport News.

Mark your calendars for this winter wonderland of fun!

Admission is free, and on-site parking is also free. Food truck prices vary.
