The Ice Festival has become a tradition will local families who attend each year to enjoy the sculptures and the various activities. The festival offers an atmosphere of family fun along with seasonal snacks like hot cocoa and freshly baked treats.
Visitors can sample the flavors of winter as food trucks and local vendors offer warm comfort foods, snacks, and beverages.
In addition, visitors can browse the Winter Market at The Gathering where local artisans and craftsmen will showcase their handmade goods—from winter accessories to one-of-a-kind art pieces.
One of the highlights of the 2025 Ice Festival is the Ice Carving Competition.

Audience members will have a chance to see the ice artists in action, each with their own unique techniques and vision. The competition promises to be an exciting, high-energy event, organizers said.
