Cripple Creek Ice Festival
The 4th Annual Cripple Creek Ice Festival will be held for two weekends starting on February 12th and 13th. This years theme will be "Story Time," where ice carvers can incorporate their interpretation of any piece of classic literature into their art.
Enjoy watching the ice carving along Bennett Avenue as sculptors wield chainsaws and carving tools to create their masterpieces. There will be activities for children and adults, including two ice mazes, an ice slide, a martini bar, and retail and food vendors on the street and in the heated event tent. Visit both weekends, as sculptors will be carving throughout the two weeks!
The Cripple Creek Ice Festival will be supporting a great community organization and will be holding a book and supply drive to benefit the Children's Literacy Center.
