The Fourth Annual Live Ice Carving Returns to Old Town Square - Fort Collins, CO
Friday, February 6, 2026 -- Saturday, February 7, 2026, 1600 - 2200
Watch Winter Magic Take Shape in Old Town Square. Bundle up for something spectacular! This year, the Fort Collins Downtown Development Authority (DDA) and Visit Fort Collins have teamed up to bring back Live Ice Carving for its fourth year-and this time, we're creating an enchanting two-night experience you won't want to miss.
Details: Friday, February 6 and Saturday, February 7 | Starting around 4 pm each evening | Old Town Square
Master ice sculptor Thomas Barlow of Struckman Sculpture Ice will transform massive blocks of ice into a magnificent castle that grows and evolves before your eyes. By Saturday evening, you'll witness a captivating frozen masterpiece towering in the heart of downtown.
Free, Family-Friendly and Full of Wonder: This is what Downtown Fort Collins does best, making it easy to gather with friends and neighbors, watch the magic unfold in real time, and snap photos as the ice castle comes to life. It's mesmerizing for all ages and completely free!
A Night of Art: Downtown Fort Collins First Friday Art Walk™ Meets Frozen Masterpieces
Mark your calendars for Friday, February 6. It's a double dose of creativity in Downtown Fort Collins! Our monthly Downtown Fort Collins First Friday Art Walk™ coincides with the first night of live ice carving, making it the perfect evening to explore a variety of art-minded local businesses, meet local artists, and watch winter art take shape in Old Town Square.
