W63N641 Washington Avenue, Cedarburg, WI, 53012, United States
The annual Cedarburg Winter Festival hits the heart of Cedarburg’s ridiculously beautiful and historic downtown along Washington Avenue (Historic Highway 57) Saturday, February 15th & Sunday, February 16th, 2020. With the new decade here, this year’s theme is “The Roaring 20s”!
Activities run from 8am to 9pm on Saturday, and 8am to 4pm on Sunday. The popular Ice Carving Contest sets the stage along the city’s main street, where 300-pound blocks of ice will be transformed into glistening pieces of Superhero-inspired art by talented ice carvers.
A tractor-drawn hay wagon provides a great view, but fest-goers who opt to stroll along Washington Avenue and prefer being outside can test their endurance by enjoying camel rides, egg hunts, sledding, ice skating or watching an old-fashioned dog pull.
Also make sure to stop in to the Cedarburg History Museum and the Cedarburg Visitors Center during the Cedarburg Winter Festival (and tell them you saw them on StateTrunkTour.com)! Doors will be open Saturday, Feb. 15th from 10am-4pm and Sunday, Feb. 16th from 12- 4pm. Cedarburg’s newest treasure houses the former General Store Museum, the Rappold-Dobberpuhl historic photograph collection, as well as a current exhibit.
Fest-goers can shake off the cold on Saturday at the Chili Contests taking place at the Community Center. Celebrity judging will begin at 11am for Saturday’s competition for individual entrants; during the competition, audience members can win great prizes donated by our generous downtown merchants.
Coinciding with the individual chili contest, festival attendees can buy sampler platters and vote for their favorite restaurant entries from 11am – 4pm in the Community Center. The Wisconsin Museum of Quilts & Fiber Arts will host a “make and take” along with coffee/cocoa and sweets bar on Saturday, and enjoy the “Upstairs Marketplace” with mittens, jewelry, hats, art, oils, dressings, candles and much more.
