The 2025 Mayville Winter Festival is officially back on! Stay tuned for more details!

Since the cat is already out of the bag, our organization would like to formally announce that the Mayville Winter Festival will live on and will move forward for the 2025 event. We are excited and so very happy to be working in conjunction with the Village of Mayville, as well as many local businesses and individuals to make this event happen to continue it's legacy and it's positive impact in our community as well as within the county. This event will look different as we navigate a shortened timeframe for planning, a smaller beginning budget, and ex*****on - but we are confident that regardless of what it looks like, it will be successful.

Somethings to highlight:
Dates: February 14 - 16, 2025
Location: Mayville, NY

We are working closely with the Village of Mayville and their connections for the castle build and the food vendors at the park - which will be on their board meeting agenda Tuesday at 7 pm - come join us.

We are working closely with area businesses to provide events within Mayville business districts - connecting uptown businesses with downtown (lake area) which gets people moving within our community.

We are working closely with individuals to plan things at both Lakeside Park and the Village green.

We are working for the love of our community - and for those of you who have shown your love too.

"Uptown. Downtown. One town. One Community - where we find unity. All roads lead to Mayville."

We are scheduling our first planning session for Wednesday at 6 pm - location awaiting confirmation - but all are welcome to attend to help us return to our grassroots and honor those who have had the thoughts and desires of bringing this to life at the very beginning.

-Sorena and the Inspire Good of WNY, INC. Board
