Now in its 30th year, Ice Breaker Festival (February 2 – 4, 2024) promises winter fun for the whole family! West Michigan’s predominant and growing winter festival is showcasing dazzling ice sculptures, Chili Cook-off, Cardboard Sled Race, Pub Slide, outdoor ice skating, S’mores Roasting, Snowsuit Fashion Competition with our announcer and the voice of Ice Breaker, Paul Layendecker, Frozen Fish Fling, and many more exciting activities throughout downtown South Haven.
The not-to-be-missed highlight of this annual event is the sculpting of more than 40 blocks of ice, weighing 300-600 pounds each, into incredible works of frozen art. Take a stroll around downtown to see all of the “cool” designs and don't miss the Miss South Haven Court as they tour the town to judge the Queens Cup ice carving!! While admiring all the amazing ice displays, be sure to enjoy the Pub Slide, with food, drink, and entertainment specials offered at participating bars and restaurants all weekend long.
The streets of South Haven will be blazing on Saturday, February 3rd as “Heat the Streets” offers three fire pits open for s’more roasting! Also on Saturday, the Professional Chili Cook-Off provides downtown South Haven restaurants & bars the opportunity to vie for the coveted chili trophy and bragging rights. Try your hand at our 4th Annual Frozen Fish Fling at the South Marina, then join us at the Coast Guard hill for the 6th annual Cardboard Sled Race on Saturday afternoon!
Participate in beginner curling lessons or take the family ice skating at the beautiful outdoor, covered rink in downtown South Haven. Proceeds from Ice Breaker help many local non-profit organizations to generate needed revenue to support local programming.
