Lake Chelan Winterfest - Jan.12-21

CHELAN / MANSON - Lake Chelan Winterfest has been a community favorite for nearly 30 years. It started back in the 80’s and was put on by the Lake Chelan Recreation Association. Over the years, it has grown in size but has been able to retain its small town charm.

There are endless activities at Winterfest, including some annual favorites like horse carriage rides, live ice sculpting and a polar bear splash! All you need is your Winterfest Button, a jacket and some of your closest family and friends.

Escape to our winter wonderland - Lake Chelan!
