VISIT Lake Geneva and the City of Lake Geneva are proud to present the 30th Annual Winterfest, featuring the U.S. National Snow Sculpting Championship January 29 – February 2, 2025. Lake Geneva Winterfest is home to America’s Snow Sculpting Invitational and to mark this special anniversary, they will welcome back past champions from across the country for an epic competition of skill and artistry.

Fifteen sculpting teams will begin their work on Wednesday, January 29 at Riviera Plaza and Flat Iron Park along the beautiful shore of Geneva Lake and finish on Saturday, February 1. Lake Geneva Winterfest is FREE to attend and view, and sculptures will remain on display through Sunday (or until they melt). We’ve gone a few times now and these sculptures are amazing and huge! We prefer them to ice sculptures, but both are fascinating.

You can also enjoy more wintery fun throughout Lake Geneva Winterfest including the Downtown Ice Sculpture Walk, bonfires on the beach, live entertainment, and a few NEW things in store for the 30th anniversary! It’s worth the road trip as we’ve gone a few times and the kids are asking to go again!
