From The Organizers:
“The organizers of the Cripple Creek Ice Festival are excited to announce the 2025 Cripple Creek Ice Festival, which will be held February 15th through the 23rd. The head-to-head carving challenges will also be returning to the event on Saturdays at 12:00, 1:30 and 3:00 (Feb 15 and Feb 22). Carvers will compete in a stadium setting for a $1,000 cash prize each weekend on Bennett Ave. between 3rd St and 4th St. 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.

Vendor booths and ice carving will take place every day (except Tuesday, February 18) including President’s Day for the duration of the festival. The vendor and activities will happen between 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Dress warm and enjoy this incredible event.
