Shake the winter blues that fall upon Ohioans every January. The Farmpark Ice Festival will kick off Friday night with the unveiling of a winter-themed ice chair and an ice carving demonstration. The night will end with a battle between fire and ice! On Saturday, come witness some of the best ice carvers from around the country take part in a speed carving competition. Come get photos with your family and friends on our full-sized ice chair and ice slide. Then come sit by a fire pit and warm up with hot cocoa and s’mores (additional charge).
