Presented by the Bank Street BIA, Fire & Ice Winter Festival is the perfect time to celebrate the warmth of the chilly winter season. This family-friendly event takes place on Bank Street between Wellington and Catherine Street, with activities going on throughout the month of February at various locations.
Taking place on February 8th and 9th, this event is a chance to melt away winter blues. For the first time ever, Fire & Ice will bring a skating rink to the street, open to all ages. After stepping off the ice, festival attendees can enter the Quiet Events Silent Disco for a Deep Therapy event. Here, art and cutting-edge house music collide in a unique and inviting atmosphere that defies the ordinary. This is a ticketed event and the limited spots will sell out quickly–make sure to get yours early! We promise to keep you warm; with a giant tent, heaters, music to make you dance, snacks, drinks and all sorts of treats.
Take in all that Fire & Ice Winter Festival has to offer with throat singing, acrobatic performances, a 2SLGBTQ+ art exhibitions, fire juggling, ice sculptures, and more.
