The Great Snow Spree Adventure

For the past nine years, the Canton Public Library has created wonder with our annual Snow Spree program, a winter tradition that brings magic, warmth and joy to families during the coldest and darkest time of the year.

What began as a small seasonal celebration has grown into one of the library’s most anticipated events, drawing visitors eager to participate in festive activities, crafts and performances. Snow Spree helps fight off the winter blues and brings a sense of excitement and community during a season that can often feel isolating.

After nine years, the Snow Spree has become more than just an event—it’s a cherished tradition that families look forward to each winter. As we continue to innovate and grow the program, we remain committed to offering an inclusive, imaginative space where the wonder of winter is celebrated and community bonds are strengthened.

Every year, there are themed snacks, crafts, entertainment and some delightful surprises as well. At one of the first Snow Sprees, we hosted a live reindeer for all to meet. In 2020, we presented a drive-through Snow Spree that brought the community together despite pandemic constraints. In recent years, we have expanded the fun throughout the whole library.

A favorite experience of many staff and community members alike was the Yeti Hunt in 2023, with a “real live” yeti (and his pet therapy dogs). In 2024, we created a carnival-like atmosphere with fire dancers and roving, life-sized puppets.

This year’s theme is “The Great CATSby," and we invite you to step into the glimmer and glow of the Roaring Twenties—cat style! Join us on Tuesday, December 16, 2025 from 6:30-8:00 PM for dancing, entertainment, a scavenger hunt and more. Dress in your best roaring cat-inspired attire and get ready for a night of glitter and giggles.
