St. Joseph Ice Fest

Every winter, downtown St. Joseph fills with ice sculptures for Ice Fest. Professional carvers compete in individual and team events, and the speed-carving rounds give carvers 15 minutes to finish while the crowd picks the winner.

Families can try the Frozen Fish Toss, Hockey Mini Golf and the Ice Throne, follow a weekend scavenger hunt, and catch magic shows around downtown. 2027 dates: January 29–31.
