Fire & Ice Festival 2024

Saturday, January 27th, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Please Join Us!

Last year’s festival day was goooorgeous, wasn’t it? After a bumpy road for the festival two years running – Covid in ’21 and the Blizzard of ’22 – the 2023 festival just plain rocked! We saw gorgeous weather, great turnout, lots of great fair food, and delightful street vendors and entertainers. Wow! So now we’ve totally got our mojo back for the 2024 festival. Check back here day by day as we add more and more details to the event-offerings this year. Yes, there will be a Chili Cook-off. Of course. If you’re a chef with access to a commercial kitchen, and perhaps you have an amazing tongue-singing chili recipe, please sign up to compete. And of course, our crew of expert ice carvers will be back as well. As is the decades old tradition, we’re looking again for ice block sponsors. Put your message into carved ice for the thousands of people who attend our event.

Snoop around the site to look back at past festivals (we have years of pictures on tap). And mark your calendars for Saturday, Jan. 27th, 2024 when we’ll be doing all of that again.

Ha ha! Winter decided to show up with rain for the 2020 Rainy Day Fire and Ice Festival. The carvings were actually quite beautiful as the edges softened. And the Chili rocked!
