The Real Life Frozen

22nd Medina Ice Festival • February 12-15, 2016

This is how you make the most of living in a cold place. Celebrate the cold! Enjoy four days of frozen fun as one of Medina’s favorite events returns to the historic Medina Square, just 30 miles South of Cleveland. Each day, more works of frozen art are added to the Square during the competitions. Visit during the day and see the carving take place. Visit during the night, and see each sculpture illuminated with multi-colored LED lights. It’s a magical time to walk through the Square.
