Fire & Ice Winter Festival

Fire & Ice Winter Festival

Logo in red and gray says Fire and Ice Festival

Join us in Kentville as we warm up winter with tons of fun! 

Celebrate the hot and cold of it all, with the Fire and Ice Winter Festival! In Kentville, we take every opportunity to celebrate, and February is no exception.  It's the season of ice and snow, and also the season of love!  Kentville has plenty of events and activities lined up to help you shake off the chill, or dive head first right into it, whatever makes you happy!

Is a little shopping followed by dinner and a show just your speed?  Perhaps you're looking for some heart-pounding snow driven outdoor adventure?  You could learn something new while staying toasty warm inside sipping tea, or take a walk through a bright snowy forest trail on a beautiful crisp day, totally alone and away from everything.  We are here to make all of your winter-loving fantasies a reality, whatever they are!

Kentville merchants are rolling out the red carpet and have created some special offerings just for Fire and Ice.  Get downtown and visit Kentville businesses for some hot deals and cool offers!

Check out the full schedule of events put together by the Town of Kentville, Kentville Business Community and our other amazing community partners.  Join one of the scheduled activities or events or consult the Fire and Ice Festival DIY list (coming soon) to curate your own perfect experience!  Make sure you tag us in your social snaps so we can share the love too. 

Happy Winter, Kentville!

Weather-Related Updates (February 15, 2025 4:30pm):

Due to icy conditions on the hill, we’ve made the difficult decision to reschedule tonight’s Sledding Party at Memorial Park. In anticipation of tomorrow’s weather, the Community Bike Ride, Include Me's Family Gathering, and Monday morning’s Snowshoe Stomp will also be rescheduled.

We’re disappointed but want to prioritize everyone’s safety. We’ll provide updates next week once details are sorted out. Please check back for updates on Monday afternoon’s activities.

Weather-Related Updates (February 16, 2025 6:30pm)

We are postponing the Winter Equipment Try It and Winter Arts and Crafts events scheduled for Monday, February 17th. Please check with other organizations to confirm if their events are still happening before heading out tomorrow.

While we’re disappointed, we’re already making new plans and can’t wait to bring these activities to you soon. Stay tuned—we’ll have all the details in just a few days!
