Now in its 27th year, the Ouray Ice Festival is the largest ice climbing event on our continent! The best ice climbers from around the world compete. There are four days of competition, exhibitions, instruction, and parties.
Every January the town of Ouray comes alive with a friendly, icy competition. Events take place at the Ouray Ice Park from January 20th to the 23rd, 2022. Stunning ice features that were created by the park’s “ice farmers” exist all around the park.
The festivities kick off with a party on Thursday night at the Community Center, 320 6th Ave. A fan-favorite event is the free walk-up ice climbing, which is available at the Ouray Ice Park. Check out the 2022 schedule of events.
