Fairfax Connector's Winterfest

Holiday Bulbs Bus

Fairfax Connector is excited to announce Winterfest 2025 will be held on Saturday, December 6 at the Springfield Community Business Center (CBC) Commuter Parking Garage located at 7039 Old Keene Mill Rd, Springfield, VA 22150.

  • Sensory Time: 9:00 a.m. - 10 a.m. 

  • General Public: 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.

This FREE event will open at 9:00 a.m. with sensory-friendly time for neurodivergent children and families. This will be a time when it's a little quieter to enjoy the Santa Bus and other activities. The event opens to the general public at 10 a.m. To help us plan, we ask that everyone reserve a free entry ticket. Please note that this ticket is separate from the Santa Visit time slots.

Visit Santa!

All are welcome to attend Winterfest, however, tickets are required to secure a time slot to visit Santa on our specially designed Santa Bus. Secure a time slot with Santa here. One slot per family please. If all timeslots are full, we will do our best to squeeze in any walk-ups! 

How does it work?

  • Arrive to the Santa Bus 10 minutes prior to your ticketed timeslot. 
  • Use your personal cellphone or camera for photos.
  • If you'd like a family picture, a helper will be available to assist. 
  • A Spanish translator will be available to help Santa communicate with our Spanish-speaking community members.

What Else to Expect!

  • FREE hot cocoa, desserts, and kettle corn
  • Arts and crafts
  • Face painting
  • Games, music, and a Letter to Santa station
  • Visit with Mrs. Claus
  • FREE Fairfax Connector Coupons and goodies
  • Food trucks on site with items for purchase.
  • Heated table areas provided, but please dress appropriately.
  • Plus, other surprises!

Supporting Our Community

The Fairfax County Department of Transportation and Fairfax Connector are collecting unopened household items - such as shampoo, tissues, liquid hand soap, toothbrushes and unopened canned goods - at this event.

All donations will benefit Cornerstones, a local nonprofit organization dedicated to helping individuals and families achieve self-sufficiency through access to food, shelter, affordable housing, quality childcare, and other vital services.

Your contribution is greatly appreciated but not required to attend the event.


All three will be at Winterfest! If you see one on the road, take a picture and share it with us on Fairfax Connector's Facebook or X.
