Experience Lake Geneva’s annual Winterfest featuring the U.S. National Snow Sculpting Championship, and you’ll never look at snow the same way again! It’s impossible to not be wowed by the workmanship and artistry on display as snow sculpting teams from across the country transform the lakefront with 9-foot-tall sculptures made of snow.
Running February 1st – February 4, 2024 Winterfest offers so many options to enjoy some of your favorite cold weather activities. Will it be bonfires on the beach with hot cocoa and S'mores or strolling along the lakefront taking in the winter beauty? Will your evenings be filled with live music, custom cocktails, and great eats? Or maybe the family would enjoy a leisurely stroll downtown to see all of the wonderful ice sculptures while shopping for a unique souvenir. No matter how you choose to enjoy this annual festival celebrating winter, you won't be disappointed!
