Chill and Chase (for) the Dragon in Harbor Springs

Ice Fest Feb. 11 and 12
By Ross Boissoneau | Feb. 4, 2022

On Friday and Saturday, Feb. 11 and 12, the Harbor Springs Ice Fest will welcome residents and visitors downtown, where more than 30 ice sculptures are on display and a host of activities await: An interactive ice sculpture park in Zorn Park, ice carving demonstrations and competitions, ice corn hole, a ring toss and — one Harbor Springs Downtown Development Authority director Margo Damoose is excited about — “Free the Fire Dragon.” Created and sponsored by the Petoskey escape room Know Way Out, the game invites players to follow and figure out clues scattered throughout downtown businesses so they can help the fire dragon escape. The Harbor Springs Historical Museum will also offer young patrons the opportunity — and supplies — to make their own valentines. For older loves, participating Harbor Springs restaurants will offer various specials. For more information, see downtownharborsprings.com.
