Fire & Ice, Plymouth’s 36th-annual winter festival, is set for 3-9 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 1 at Plymouth Creek Playfield, 3625 Fernbrook Lane. N.
Following cancellations in recent years due to poor ice conditions, the annual event will look a little different this year as it moves from a frozen lake setting to a park. Despite the change, Fire & Ice returns with fun fan favorites.
The free event offers a variety of winter activities, including ice skating, sledding, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing, weather permitting. Attendees can wander through the igloo village or gather in a heated tent for activities such as BINGO and DJ-led music. Children may enjoy a snow play area and photo opportunities at the llama meet-and-greet.
Plymouth's Old Town Hall, located adjacent to the playfield, will be open noon to 7 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 1, for Fire & Ice attendees to discover the history of Plymouth's annual winter festival and other unique historical facts.
True to event tradition, Fire & Ice includes a fireworks display beginning at 6:30 p.m. Attendees may return to the tent after the fireworks for a live performance by Jonah and the Whales. Participants should bring cash and/or credit cards for food truck purchases and drinks at the ice bar.
The Parks and Recreation team thanks the Plymouth Civic League for sponsoring this year's fireworks display.
