Lake Geneva Winterfest

The Lake Geneva Tourism Authority and the City of Lake Geneva are pleased to announce that the annual Lake Geneva Winter Festival will be held from January 28 to February 1, 2026. The Lake Geneva Winter Festival is the venue for the U.S. Snow Sculpture Invitational, and snow sculpting champions from across the country are welcome to participate in this grand competition of skill and art. 15 sculpting teams began their work on Wednesday, January 28, at the beautiful Riviera Square and Flatiron Park on the shores of Lake Geneva, and completed it on Saturday, January 31. Admission to the Lake Geneva Winter Festival is free, and the sculptures will be on display until Sunday (or until they melt). You can also enjoy many other winter fun activities at the Lake Geneva Winter Festival, including an ice sculpture walk in the city center, a beach bonfire, live entertainment, and more!
