Mark your calendars for January 17-19, 2025, as Downtown Scranton transforms into a winter wonderland with the return of the annual Scranton Ice Festival! This year’s theme, Ice! Camera! Action!, brings the glamour of Hollywood to the Electric City with three days of icy thrills, movie magic and family-friendly fun.

Kick off the weekend with a red-carpet event on Friday night, and continue to enjoy live ice-carving demonstrations by talented artists from Sculpted Ice Works, a curling rink, selfie stations and winter activities throughout the downtown business district.

With live music and seasonal cuisine from local restaurants, cafés and pubs, there’s no shortage of exciting things to do.

Test your skills with a one-of-a-kind scavenger hunt, where you can scan QR codes on stunning ice sculptures to earn FrostBites and climb the leaderboard for a chance to win prizes. Explore the ice carvings scattered throughout the district, uncover hidden gems and immerse yourself in the chilly charm of the festival.

Whether you’re admiring the ice sculptures, enjoying the live performances or warming up with a hot beverage at a downtown café, Downtown on Ice promises to be an unforgettable experience.

Presented by Scranton Tomorrow, this event celebrates the spirit of community, creativity and winter fun in Downtown Scranton.
