Join us on Sunday, February 2nd, for Ice on Fire 2025! This year's event will be happening at 203 Country Club Road in Montpelier (also known as the former Elks Lodge property, across from Agway). The Opening Ceremony for this annual celebration of deep winter begins at 2pm, followed by an afternoon of storytelling, song, poetry reading, theater and winter games. Wind down from this day of FUN! at the Closing Ceremony (complete with bonfire!) which will commence at sunset. Be sure to bring a mug to enjoy some free hot cider as you celebrate with friends, awash in winter.

Suggested donation for the event is $5-$10 per person, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds. Donations can be made online here: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=87EWNSUQB2KYS or at the event. Parking is very limited, so we ask that people please carpool if they can.

Christmas trees for the bonfire can be dropped off at the event site NOW through February 2nd at the far end of the parking lot. There will be a sign and instructions.
