Downtown Holly’s Fire & Ice Festival Returns January 27
The Annual Mount Holly Fire and Ice Festival returns Saturday, January 28th, 2023 starting at 10 am-4:30 pm on High Street and Mill Race Village. The family-friendly event is free to attend.
Years ago, it commenced as a separate Ice Carving Contest, drawing ice carvers to Mount Holly for competition. The subsequent month featured a Chili Cooking Contest. The decision was made to merge these events into a single day, giving rise to the now-renowned “The Fire (Chili Contest) and Ice (Ice Carving Demonstration) Festival.”
The festival has expanded to feature Jersey Sands Dog Sled demonstrations, curling showcases by the Jersey Pinelands Curling Club, interactive axe throwing, and an Ice Carving Demonstration.
The highlight of the event is the participation of over ten skilled Ice Carvers, each sculpting 600 lbs of ice, accompanied by a dozen chili chefs serving the finest in Burlington County. Thousands of spectators, including those from the Tri-State area and beyond, gather to partake in the festivities.
This family-friendly festival appeals to all ages, offering a diverse range of attractions. Attendees not only enjoy the festival itself but also explore the local restaurants, breweries, distillery, wine-tasting venues, and charming shops in Mill Race Village and on Main Street. The historical buildings and sites further enhance the overall ambiance of the day.
Mount Holly warmly invites everyone to savor the festival, explore the beautiful historic town, and indulge in the charm of its quaint shops, wine tasting, and breweries
