Ist Annual Fire & Ice Festival
January 10, 2018
Event Description:
Experience the Quiet Resorts as you have never experienced them before at the Inaugural Fire & Ice Festival in downtown Bethany Beach! Trade your beach cruiser for your ice skates for a family-friendly weekend full of winter festivities, including an ice sculpture tour and live sculpture demonstration featuring the work of local sculptor Erik Cantine (Berlin,MD), ice skating rink, and -- of course -- a seasonal stop at your favorite shops, restaurants, and businesses.
The ice rink is provided by Chill Entertainment and sponsored by Southern Delaware Tourism.
Interested in becoming a stop on the sculpture tour?
Consider becoming an event sponsor! Businesses and retailers are invited to participate in the sculpture tour through purchasing their very own custom, LED-lit ice sculpture to be placed in front of stores and throughout downtown Bethany Beach. Options range from single-block sculptures to an ?interactive? ice sculpture like bowling or corn hole -- and a spot on the sculpture tour!
