Now that we’ve fully settled into winter, with its consistently gray skies and threats of snow, the days can sometimes drag on. Some of us are already counting down the days until spring. Fortunately, winter brings with it some treasured traditions – like Ligonier Ice Fest Near Pittsburgh, and it’s right around the corner.

Clear your calendar for the weekend of January 23-24, 2021 for the 30th Annual Ligonier Ice Fest right in downtown Ligonier, about an hour from downtown Pittsburgh.

The highlight of the weekend will be, of course, the intricate ice carvings that dot the downtown sidewalks. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, live ice carving will not be on the schedule for 2021.
