Through the Ice and Snow

Two NoMi festivals are going all in on winter this weekend. In Harbor Springs, the annual Ice Fest returns Feb. 6 and 7. Expect 50+ ice sculptures around town, a scavenger hunt, horse drawn wagons giving free tours, and a live drone show over the bay on Friday night. Plan your fun at downtownharborsprings.com/ice-fest. Meanwhile, over in Cadillac, the Midwest Snowkite Jam runs Feb. 6 through Feb. 8 on (and off) Lake Mitchell. There’s a rider welcome party Friday, a free ride and race on Saturday (followed by an afterparty with a food truck), and then a casual Sunday with events based on conditions. The jam also serves as a pledge-based fundraiser, with riders logging miles in January and early February to support Project Koru, an organization that aims to enrich “lives through community and the outdoors as a way to move forward beyond cancer.” Register and see the schedule at midwestsnowkitejam.com.
