Children can also look forward to a special appearance by Elsa and Anna, with organizers hinting they may bring “a sprinkle of snow” with them.

One of the event’s most popular attractions, the Northport Express, will once again offer rides around City Hall for children.

City officials also teased a possible appearance by the Grinch, who has attempted to “sneak in” during past celebrations before being thwarted by the Northport Police Department.

The event is free and open to the public.
