The Annual Holiday Ice Festival December 12th!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year, which means it’s time again for Downtown Ferndale’s annual Holiday Ice Festival, Saturday, December 12th from 10am to 6pm! Come for plenty of traditional holiday-time activities for the whole family to enjoy, as well as some wild things too. Come experience downtown as it transforms into a winter wonderland with over 50 magnificent ice creations lining streets! Watch the ice carvers as they chisel and shape blocks of ice into cartoons and characters.
Welcome Santa when he arrives at Downtown Ferndale’s North Pole (Schiffer Park at dinos02sidelogo3Planavon & West Nine Mile Road) at 10am on Ferndale Fire Department’s Engine #1, and meet his live reindeer too. Activities include FREE photos with Santa, urban hayrides around town, and visits with live reindeer. Adding to the excitement, there will be in-town ice carvings by world champion Tajana Raukar and a display of 40+ ice sculptures! If you need to get some holiday shopping done, let the holiday music from the carolers set the mood while you go store to store checking off everyone on your list. The day also includes a lunch with Santa at Rosie O’Grady’s at noon.
The Holiday Ice Festival is a production of the Ferndale Downtown Development Authority and is made possible by our sponsors and downtown businesses who sponsor sculptures for their storefronts.
