Families are invited to celebrate the heart of winter at the Fire & Ice Family Fun Fest on January 25, from 1–3 p.m., at the Litchfield Community Center. This free community event blends the warmth of crackling fire pits with the dazzling artistry of ice, offering an afternoon of seasonal fun for all ages.

Guests can enjoy live ice sculpting, take hayrides, and gather around outdoor fires to stay warm. Children can get creative with winter-themed crafts, listen to engaging storytelling sessions and take part in hands-on activities that celebrate the sights and sounds of the season. The festival is designed to spark imagination and encourage families to embrace winter’s beauty—whether building crafts, sipping warm drinks or exploring the outdoor displays.

The event is presented in collaboration with Litchfield Audubon, White Memorial Conservation Center and other community partners, bringing together an enriching mix of nature education and winter entertainment. Admission is free, and donations are welcome to support ongoing community programming.

All are invited to bundle up, bring the family and enjoy an uplifting afternoon of connection, creativity and outdoor winter magic.
