Alice in Winterland: The Heart of Winter Quest
February 1 @ 10:00 am - February 28 @ 8:00 pm
Experience the Magic of Storytelling in Downtown McMinnville
Step into a living storybook this February! Alice in Winterland: The Heart of Winter Quest is an immersive, town-wide scavenger hunt and storytelling experience that transforms the historic streets of Downtown McMinnville into a frozen wonderland.
Alice has arrived in our town, but the Heart of Winter has been shattered. She needs your help to find the missing fragments of Time, Warmth, Wonder, and Reflection before the frost melts. Follow the silver “shimmer-trail” through the windows of your favorite local shops to piece the story together and save the season.
✨ How to Join the Quest
Start Your Journey: Begin at Barren Fork Brews to step through the “Door of Frost.”
Follow the Shimmer-Trail: 10 participating downtown locations, including Barren Fork Brews, Lemon, Vanilla Bean Baking Co., Cumberland Biscuit Co., Topz, Flat Foot Records, The Hitch, Blue Bow Boutique, The Local on Morford, and Wink Skincare Studio.
Discover the Story: At each stop, watch the windows come to life with beautiful vintage-style illustrations and read the next chapter of Alice’s adventure.
Saturday Special: Make your weekend extra magical with a visit to Falcon Rest Mansion for their exclusive Mad Hatter Tea Parties, hosted every Saturday in February. ☕🎩
