You can help the city awaken from its winter slumber this weekend as Destination Sturgeon Bay hosts its annual Fire and Ice Festival. Following an evening of luminary-lit hikes, glowing igloos and live music downtown, nearly two dozen ice carvers will take to the streets to sculpt creations out of snow and ice.
Area restaurants and businesses will also be drawing in festivalgoers with specials ahead of the Fire and Ice Gala, presented by Destination Sturgeon Bay at Stone Harbor Resort.
It has been since the Sturgeon Bay Unwrapping Parade and Christmas tree lighting that the community has been able to come together and celebrate. Destination Sturgeon Bay Executive Director Cameryn Ehlers-Kwaterski says seeing the city come alive again during what is traditionally a slower time of year is her favorite part of the festival.
Tickets are still available for the Saturday night Fire and Ice Gala, and more details can be found by clicking this link. The Fire and Ice Festival also kicks off the year’s events for Destination Sturgeon Bay, including the St. Patrick’s Day Parade on March 14 and the Sturgeon Bay Fine Art Fair over Memorial Day weekend.
