Holiday Express at Blackberry Farm in Aurora canceled on Saturday and Sunday due to expected frigid weather
Dec 11, 2025
Due to “dangerously low temperatures expected this weekend,” Fox Valley Park District officials said they have made the decision to cancel all Holiday Express events scheduled for Saturday and Sunday at Blackberry Farm in Aurora.
The cancellation includes the Hot Cocoa with Anna Elsa and Storyt
ime with the Grinch programs set for this weekend – separate ticketed events held in conjunction with Holiday Express.
Guests who purchased tickets for Saturday or Sunday will receive a full refund and have been notified by email, according to a statement from the district on Thursday.
Holiday Express at Blackberry Farm at 100 S. Barnes Road in Aurora will be held Friday evening and next weekend as scheduled, district officials said.
“All of our decisions are made with the safety of our guests and staff at the forefront, and the expected conditions simply won’t allow us to operate safely,” Fox Valley Park District Recreation Superintendent Becky Harling said in the statement.
“It was an easy decision in terms of safety, but difficult because we understand the disappointment,” Harling said. “We always want to make sure that the experience matches or exceeds the price of the ticket and we just wouldn’t be able to fulfill that this weekend.”
