Coloradans have figured out how to make the elements work to our advantage! When it is snowing, we hit the slopes. When it is sunny, we find a way to do everything outdoors. When there is a big chunk of ice, we sculpt it into something spectacular! If you are intrigued by the latter, we invite you to attend the Rio Frio Ice Festival in Colorado that is nothing short of magical:
Taking place January 27th through the 29th, 2023, is the annual Rio Frio Ice Festival!
Beginning at noon on Saturday, January 28th, the ice carving segment of the festival showcases some of the state's most talented sculptors, who will demonstrate their craft based on the festival's annual theme (TBA).
In addition to all of the above, the Rio Frio runs a beautiful Cross Country Luminara Ski, Polar Plunge, Fire and Ice Bonfire, Ice Carousel and skating, fat bike races, and other fun surprises.
