How is winter fest?

varies WILDLY year to year. It's the sort of event that lets local politicians and business people grease each other up in public-but-private events and then walk out hoping not to be stopped on the street.
Worst-case it's an excuse to get drunk in a tent with people you sort of recognize.
Back in the day you'd be in for human dogsled races. That...is not a thing I would've believed existed had I not seen them with my own eyes.

Go hiking! Lowell-Dracut-Tyngsboro State Forest is really nice and there are a lot of other great trails nearby.

lots of good all year hiking. shorter trails where can practice your skills in rougher conditions or at night. longer trails for when you level up

Isn't there a bowling alley near the rickety(est) bridge? Bowl a few strings and play some DDR like it's 2004

Bar hopping is quite the adventure here. Be sure to tip your bartender.
