GRAFTON - Don’t be fooled by hot summer temperatures, Christmas is coming early this year at Raging Rivers WaterPark. All are welcome to participate in the festive Christmas in July celebration on Wednesday, July 25, complete with a promotion to benefit Toys for Tots, holiday music, prizes, a special guest appearance and more.

Visitors to the waterpark will have the option to pay just $17.25 for admission, with $5 of that already reduced entry fee being donated to Toys for Tots when they join Raging Rivers email club. The coupon for discounted admission will be sent to members in the days leading up to the event and will be posted on Raging Rivers social media channels. In addition to the great deal and waterpark fun, Raging Rivers’ guests might see a friendly face walking around in his best summer gear, as Santa Claus is coming to town to soak up the sun. Christmas classics and sounds of the season can be heard around the park during the event and special day-of-coupons for additional savings can be accessed on Raging Rivers WaterPark’s Facebook page.
