An entry fee of $15 includes a pair of Frosty Fest logo gloves and hot chocolate at the finish line. To register for this family friendly run, sign-up at the Y in Sturgeon Bay or Fish Creek. Registration is also offered on January 1 from 12 – 1 pm at the start/finish line on the corner of Hwy 42 and Harbor School Road.

If there is snow, sculptures will line the sidewalks. Food and beverages will be available for purchase before, during and after the parade.
