Downtown Downers Grove Ice Festival

Join us Downtown Downers Grove for the annual Ice Festival, January 30-February 1, 2026. This year there will be nearly 60 ice sculptures to visit! Live carving demonstrations happen on Friday, 5:30-7:30pm at the corner of Main and Curtiss and on Saturday and Sunday, 11am-3pm at the Main Street Train Station.
These amazing pieces of ice art will include an angel, a robot, a shamrock, figure skater and the fan favorite kissing booth will return this year. Keep your eye out for a few fun ice games. Map of sculptures will be available closer to the date.
