Winter Ice Festival

Late Jan - Downtown Sault Sainte Marie

Watch the excitement as award-winning sculptures use chainsaws, chisels, and blowtorches to create over 50 stacked ice sculptures in downtown Sault Ste. Marie. Two days of ice will produce amazing carvings!

Sculptures are available for viewing 24 hours a day in front of participating business and will remain standing after the event – weather permitting. There will also be a display of ice sculptures at the corner of Ashmun St and Portage Ave near the pavilion structure.

Some of the things that will be taking place during the day: Kid’s Penguin Parade, Grownup Charcuterie and Wine party at 1668 Winery, an outdoor bonfire party at Birds Eye Outfitters, United Way Fundraiser Party outside of the Alpha Bar, hot chocolate and cookies for kids, and North of Chicago Pizza will be selling pizza by the slice. Don’t miss the Ice Wars!

Saturday evening at 6pm gather at the corner of Ashmun St and Portage Ave for ICE WARS!!! The carvers will go head to head with chainsaws and chisels competing for the approval of the crowd!
