The Camden Winterfest returns for its 7th annual community celebration of winter on January 31st 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. Live sculptures by Meredith Alex -Mad Girl Designs will be on hand.
The Winterfest also hosts a Cross-country ski race at Camden Hills Regional High School The race starts at 10:00AM on Sunday, February 1st The race is a 5 km freestyle format. Registration is from 8:30-9:30 am; those interested in participating should call Dave Ridley at 236-8567.
