Capturing Magic at Winter Walk 2025 — Buffalo Media Group in Downtown Northfield

As the holiday season settles in and downtown Northfield transforms into a warm, twinkling winter wonderland, Buffalo Media Group had the honor of documenting one of Minnesota’s most cherished community celebrations — Winter Walk 2025.

Held on Thursday, December 11, 2025, from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM, Winter Walk invites visitors to enjoy the charm of historic downtown Northfield by candlelight. This free, festive evening offers something for every age — from horse-drawn wagon rides and caroling to fire pits, hot cocoa, decorated storefronts, and even a stunning fireworks finale over the Cannon River.

🌟 A Night Full of Holiday Spirit

Winter Walk isn’t just another event — it’s a tradition. Thousands of glowing luminarias line the streets, local choirs and performers spread cheer with live music, and beloved characters like Santa, Frosty, and Rudolph make appearances for unforgettable photo moments. Families stroll from shop to shop, discovering unique gifts, indulging in seasonal treats, and soaking in the magic of the holiday season.

Buffalo Media Group was right in the heart of the action, camera-ready to freeze every heartfelt smile and magical moment.
