Ice Festival | City of Cripple Creek, Colorado Events
Need a vacation? You may not find warm and sandy beaches here, but the 3rd Annual Cripple Creek Ice Festival will be a great way to unwind. Ice sculptors are sure to please as they transform the Cripple Creek street-scape into something you would find “Under the Sea.” Sculptures will range from the mythical to the magical, and spectators that enjoy watching the ice carving are invited to join us as sculptors wield chainsaws and carving tools to create their masterpieces. This family friendly event will have several activities for children and adults, including an ice maze, an ice slide, the “Dueling Chainsaws” competitions, a martini bar, and retail and food vendors on the street and in the heated event tent. Visitors are encouraged to visit both weekends, as sculptors will be carving throughout the two weeks and additional new ice sculptures will be carved for the second weekend. Bring your snorkel, bring your flippers, and join us for an “Under the Sea” getaway at the 2010 Cripple Creek Ice Festival.
Did you miss the ice sculpting event a couple weeks ago in the Old Colorado City real estate area? Not to worry, Cripple Creek is hosting their own ice sculpting extravaganza, and this one lasts two weeks! The festival begins next weekend and is sure to be amazing. This is a true celebration of Colorado’s finest ice sculptors. And in true Cripple Creek fashion, nothing will be left on the table. There will be competitions, kids activities, and lots and lots of ice. No one can pack fun into a weekend like Cripple Creek, so make sure you bring your energy bars and enthusiasm….you just might need them!
