Fireworks and Torchlight Parade at Cannon Mountain on Feb 25, 2012

Cannon Mountain Ski Area will be hosting the last Family Fun Night of the season on Saturday February 25, 2011 from 4:30-6:30pm in the Peabody Base Area. Free movie for Kids in the Brookside Lodge, Huckerbrook Mini-Park open under the lights for $5 and the Cannonball Pub open for adults! Stick around for the Torchlight Parade & Fireworks at 6:30!

If you have never been to a torchlight Parade it is pretty cool. There a bunch of skiers who slowly work their way zig zagging down the mountain while holding torches (road flares) which creates a stream of bright light along the way. It is a treat for your eyes.

After the Parade is done they will have a Fireworks Show. The backdrop of Franconia Notch, Mount Lafayette and Cannon Mountain creates a dramatic backdrop for the flashes of brillant color and the echos of the booms from the fireworks. This is a great family event this weekend.
