The weather may suggest fire, but the activities will still highlight the ice at Sturgeon Bay’s first major event of 2024. The Sturgeon Bay Fire and Ice Festival begins on Friday night with a luminary hike at Crossroads at Big Creek before the activities shift to downtown on Saturday. The lack of snow will emphasize the over 20 blocks of ice that will be transformed into works of art throughout the city beginning at 9 a.m. Destination Sturgeon Bay Marketing Coordinator Alexa Soto says there will also be other activities throughout the city for residents and visitors to partake in before the gala event on Saturday night.

The Sturgeon Bay Fire and Ice Festival concludes Saturday night with a fireworks display at 9 p.m.
