Lake City Ice Climbing Festival – February

Lake City’s Ice Climbing Festival is a terrific, low-key event for those looking to escape the chaos of the popular resort towns. Spend the weekend in a winter wonderland with various activities amongst the friendly Hinsdale County locals.

This year’s festivities will be held on Saturday, February 1st, 2025. Imagine standing against a big beautiful blue ice-covered wall watching the best climbers scale up it. It might seem overwhelming for beginners, but those who seek the thrill of climbing will appreciate the challenge or at least spectating others.

This festival is the brainchild of Lake City Ice Climbs, Inc. which is a non-profit organization that aims to provide a unique climbing experience at the Lake City Ice Park. Because they are a volunteer-based organization, this kind of festival aims to gather donations to help keep the park going.

For those who will be traveling to participate in the event, there are some sponsors that offer discounts on hotel accommodations. There are also small bars and restaurants where people can hang out and have a drink before or after the event.
