Residents and visitors were treated to a winter extravaganza on Main Road in Southold as their annual WinterFest, organized by Brian Q. Smith, unfolded.

The festival buzzed with excitement as live performances from Caribbean Vibe Steel Drum Band, Lucy Kalantari and the Jazz Cats, Foster Europe Band and Jay Shepard Band filled the air.

Face painters, ice sculptors and jugglers also entertained attendees as they sampled food and drinks from local establishments like Maroni Cuisine and Pindar Vineyards.

Activities ranged from crafting workshops to cupcake decorating. Main stage events at the First Presbyterian Church featured Lady T’s Highway Dancers and the HooDoo Loungers band.

WinterFest also offered cha-cha lessons and flame juggling.
