DelaFREEZE

Bundle up and head downtown to watch artists transform massive blocks of ice into incredible sculptures right before your eyes. DelaFREEZE brings the Delafield community together for a winter celebration featuring live ice carving demonstrations throughout the day. Each 300-pound block of ice is specially frozen to be crystal clear, standing four feet tall, and carved into unique masterpieces using real carver's tools. It's a self-guided experience—grab a map and stroll at your own pace to see all the creations and snap photos at designated selfie spots. There's plenty to keep families entertained beyond the ice sculptures. Kids can enjoy interactive games like ring toss, bean bag toss, and mini golf at ClockTower Square, plus warm up indoors at the library with hot cocoa, a scavenger hunt, and a craft activity. Weather permitting, ice skating is available at the Sports Complex. New this year, visitors can collect a DelaFREEZE Passport as they explore downtown and local businesses—it enters you into a drawing for a family prize basket. The entire event is completely free and welcomes all ages.
