See you in 2024!
Unfortunately we are announcing the postponement of the Scranton Ice Festival in 2023. Our main organizers are dealing with health concerns that have kept us from being able to commit the many, many hours that go into making this event possible. We apologize for the inconvenience and/or disappointment this will cause. We do hope to bring the event back in future years, and we appreciate your understanding while we navigate this time. Thanks for your support the previous two years and we hope to see you again in 2024.
