Cold Weather Get Together
February 7, 1PM-7PM
ORA Trails, BLACK, Beer by Bike Brigade, and Adventure Films invite the community to join us for a free winter gathering at Upper Hixon Park and the Pump Track on February 7, 2026.
The Cold Weather Get Together is a family-friendly, come-and-go community event designed to celebrate winter recreation and encourage people of all ages and experience levels to get outside. No registration is required!
Activities will include casual hiking, biking, and running on the trails; a family scavenger hunt with geocache-style exploration bins; a kids pump track area; and opportunities to warm up with hot cocoa, s’mores, and fireside conversations.
Other activities will also take place, including the Cup of Love chili cook-off and a 50/50 raffle, with proceeds benefiting BLACK. The day will wrap up with door prizes and a cozy candlelight hike at sunset.
The Cold Weather Get Together is all about creating a welcoming, inclusive winter experience and connecting our community through outdoor recreation in the bluffs.
2026 Candlelight Hikes
January 3rd – Chad Erickson Park
February 7th – Upper Hixon *special event day
March 3rd – Gateway Trails, Grandad Bluff Park
These are free, all-ages events that begin at 5pm, and last until 7pm, or until we run out of fire wood!
Each location chosen utilizes a path that is considered easy to moderate. Candles will light the route, but if you’d like to see clearly where you’re stepping, consider wearing a headlamp or bringing a flashlight. We invite the entire community to join us for:
- Free s’mores and a hot drink, provided by ORA
- A candlelit path to walk or stroll, self-guided, beginning at 5:00pm
- A fun way to get outside in the winter and chat with friends in the community
