Come see Ice Sculpting at it's finest! Our ice sculptor will demonstrate the intricate carving process to transform an ice block into a work of art using a variety of tools outside Swallow Union in the bus drop-off area from 2:00 to 3:30 PM. The resulting crystalline work of art will remain on display for the balance of the day (or until it melts...). Be sure to stop by to ooh and ahh!

Santa's Arrival

Each year Jinglefest wishes to honor a Dunstable resident who has been an integral part of the Dunstable community, helping to make our town as special as it is. Our E.L.F. will address the crowd and have the honor of unveiling the Town Hall decorations at our annual Official Lighting event described below. Who is this year's E.L.F.? You'll have to come to the Dunstable Church front steps at 6:30 to find out!
The Sniezek family has started a wonderful tradition of decorating the Town Hall to match the holiday season. This year, there will be an official unveiling of the winter season's decoration during Jinglefest. You'll want to make your way outside the front steps of the Dunstable Church to watch the Town Hall light up at 6:30 PM and see the decorations to match this year's Jinglefest theme!
