Enjoy more Lake Chelan Valley Winterfest activities

information & photos released

Because The Lake Chelan Valley’s Winterfest contains just too much fun to pack into one weekend, the community spreads it out over 10 full days including back to back weekends of Fire & Ice activities.

Last weekend, “Ice” activities were centered in downtown Chelan’s winter wonderland. This weekend, you’ll experience “Fire” activities in downtown Manson – the Village of Lights – with a fire bar, vendor market, live music, mystery mitten walk, flames of intention ceremony, polar bear plunge, fireworks and more! The schedule of Fire Weekend events is listed below.

Your Winterfest button is your access pass to many of the weekend activities. However, throughout the entire 10-day festival (January 17-26), you can take advantage of Winterfest Button Offers – with discounts and specials at local businesses all over the Lake Chelan Valley.
