Lake Superior Ice Festival

The Lake Superior Ice Festival is a community-driven event celebrating the coolest aspects of our region!  The 2021 Festival will be Friday, January 29 through Saturday, January 30th! This year's event is sponsored by Superior Refinery. 

It is the goal of the community partners who are hosting this festival to bring you the 2021 Lake Superior Ice Festival in a safe, entertaining, and positive manner. We will be utilizing the CDC and Douglas County Health Department guidelines for every event held during the festival weekend.  We need your help to safely share and celebrate the "coolest aspects of our region." Please do your part to keep everyone safe by following social distancing guidelines.  Although this is a primarily outdoor event, please bring a mask for those times when you are close to others.  Although we'd feel bad if you have to miss the festival, it's critical that you stay home if you are experiencing ANY Covid-19 symptoms. 

Food and beverage tents will be available throughout the day on Saturday, January 30. A full list of events happening at the festival can be found at www.lakesuperioricefestival.com.
