WATCH EXPERT ICE AND SNOW SCULPTORS CREATE MASTERPIECES
22nd Annual Keene Ice and Snow Festival on Saturday, February 1, 2025 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in downtown Keene.
The Festival is a day of free family fun that brings local ingenuity and creative vibrancy to downtown Keene during the peak of winter.
The 2025 festival will feature a competition for 12 professional ice carvers (from The Monadnock Region and all over New England), along with a variety of free events and activities. These include a children’s train ride, roaming circus acts, cartoons at the Colonial Theater, pony rides, face painting, balloon art, campfire s’mores, sugar on snow, an interactive art exhibit, a “find the yeti” scavenger hunt, free hot cocoa, shops and nonprofit booths, two activity centers with games and treats at UCC Keene and the Elm City Church and more.
Each ice sculpture is set on a pedestal and illuminated from underneath to shine long into the evening. A beautiful night to walk around before dinner at your favorite downtown restaurant!
