DELAFREEZE

January 11, 2020

Join us for our 2^nd Annual DelaFREEZE event in Delafield! The Delafield Chamber of Commerce and its business members come together to provide live ice carvings and fun activities throughout the Delafield Area. 2019 was DelaFREEZE’s first run and it was a huge success with great feedback! Our second year, being held on January 11^th, 2020- is shaping up to be even bigger. We have added an additional 3 carvings, some warming huts and more!

Visitors are expected to come from many surrounding areas to stroll along Delafield and view the amazing work of the art put into Ice Carving. This event is family-friendly and free for all ages. Over dozens of blocks of ice will be placed throughout the city. Each sculpture will be carved from a block of ice during our 10am to 3pm event. Our walking map will walk visitors through the area to see all of the carvings.

Each sculpture will be carved from a 300-pound block of ice that has been frozen in a special process to ensure the blocks are crystal clear. The blocks are ten inches thick, twenty inches wide and stand forty inches tall on a wooden stand. The live sculpture carving grabs many visitor’s attention! Visitors will be able to see the carver’s tools and watch them work as they transform the massive blocks of ice into an array of masterpieces.

Along with the carvings, visitors can spend the day enjoying many other activities in the area! Downtown businesses will be having outdoor games, warming huts, menu specials and more! Our friends at Lapham Peak will be having an event featuring biking, sledding, cross country skiing, snowshoeing and more! Nagawicka Ice Skating will be having Free Ice Skating from 3-5pm!
