The Camden Winterfest returns for its 6th annual community celebration of winter on February 2nd and 3rd 2008. This popular event is presented by The Camden Public Library and its Committee for Harbor Parks and Amphitheatre along with local sponsors.
The centerpiece of Winterfest activity remains the Community Ice Carving Event. A dozen teams representing local nonprofit & community, transform ordinary blocks of ice into crystaline ice sculptures using the traditional tools of the ice-carving artisan. Chef Tim Pierce of the Samoset Resort donates his time to teaching the teams the craft of ice sculpting.
With or without snow families are encouraged to come and play. Horse and wagon rides are offered free of charge. A merry band of culinary volunteers serve a variety of delicious hot soups donated by local restaurants, light snacks, and their world famous Arctic Grilled Cheese.
The warm rotunda of the library hosts live music by All That Jazz and other local musicians all afternoon.
