Join us at the Maggie Valley Ice Extravaganza, part of the Visit Haywood Ice Fest Weekend! Marvel at the mesmerizing live ice carving demos as talented artists transform frozen blocks into jaw-dropping works of art. Feel the rush as you slide down the ice slide and test your skills in ice games like ice cornhole and ice ping-pong. Your favorite Frozen characters will also be making a return appearance, adding an extra touch of magic to the festivities. As night falls, be dazzled by our incredible fire dancers lighting up the winter sky with their fiery performances. Looking for a souvenir to take home? Shop at local vendor tents while indulging in delicious bites from food trucks. And when you need a break, enjoy the warming tents or s’mores by the fire.
