Written by on February 15, 2024

The Downtown Canandaigua Fire & Ice Festival, now in its eighth year, is set to bring a blend of warmth and chill to New York with a weekend full of activities slated for February 17 and 18. Recognized by Forbes.com as a must-visit winter event, the festival offers an array of attractions that cater to both the fiery and icy aspects of the season. Saturday’s highlights include the Chef Chili Cook-off Challenge, professional ice-carving competitions, horse-drawn wagon rides, and performances by the Fire Guy, alongside various interactive and family-friendly activities such as candle making, glass flaming, and encounters with Lazy Acre alpacas and Hanggi Farm reindeer. Sunday extends the fun with the Warm Beverage Trail, more horse and wagon rides, and opportunities to meet Siberian huskies and participate in a beer cheese cookoff. The festival, known for its ice sculptures that gain a new perspective on the second day, promises a vibrant downtown experience with something for everyone.
