Lake Chelan Chamber gears up for two weekends of Winterfest

CHELAN – Chelan and Manson will celebrate the magic of winter with two weekends of Lake Chelan Winterfest this month.

Ice Weekend in Chelan will be held on January 17-19. The festivities will include the Famous Ice Bar, ice sculptures and carvings, and a wine walk. There will also be fireworks, a beach bonfire and a Polar Bear Plunge. 

A new activity this year is Frosty’s Winter Trail. Participants can collect snowman pieces at stops around town and assemble Frosty at the end of the route.

During that weekend, there will be more than 50 discounts and specials throughout the Lake Chelan Valley.

The celebration continues with Fire Weekend in Manson on January 24-26. Fire Weekend will feature the Fire Bar, live music, a vendor market and fireworks show.

At the annual Find Tsilly Scavenger Hunt children, and even adults, can go on the hunt for the fun character Tsilly and support local businesses. One lucky participant will win a grand prize.

A Bubble Brunch catered by Apple Cup Cafe will offer unlimited bubbles and a chance to learn more about sparkling wine produced in Lake Chelan. Cider Press in Manson will host the event.

The weekend will also include the Flames of Intention ceremony, where participants can reflect and set goals for the year ahead.
