The organizers of the Cripple Creek Ice Festival have announced the 2025 Cripple Creek Ice Festival, February 15-23.  The head-to-head carving challenges will also be returning to the event on Saturdays at 12:00, 1:30 and 3:00.  Carvers will compete in a stadium setting for a $1,000 cash prize each weekend.  Carving teams will also be doing their best to win the People’s Choice Award for a huge cash prize.  Plan your visit and cast your vote for the most impressive carving.

This event is free and open to the general public.  Carvers will be working throughout the event on their sculptures.  Activities, vendors, and head-to-head carving competitions will only take place on the weekends (Feb 15-17 and Feb 22-23) including President’s Day.  The vendor and activities will happen between 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., weather permitting.

Aside from the beautiful ice sculpture displays, patrons will also enjoy the tons of activities that await them. There will be ice slides and interactive ice sculptures that will make for plenty of Kodak picture-perfect moments. There’s also an ice maze for all to explore.  Dress warm and enjoy this incredible event along Bennett Avenue in Cripple Creek.
