The Town of Inlet is getting ready for the annual Frozen Fire & Lights festival on Saturday, February 23, a day of bonfires, outdoor activities, fireworks and fun for the whole family.
The event will begin with a bonfire at Fern Park at 10 a.m.
A book sale will be held at the Inlet Public Library from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and the Inlet Youth Commission will sponsor a Noah’s Ark Animal Workshop from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Inlet Town Hall.
Outdoor activities begin at noon at Fern Park where there will be sledding, ice skating, and cross-country skiing and snowshoeing on the trails.
You should bring your own sled, but ice skate, snowshoe and ski rentals are available locally at Pedals & Petals.
The Cardboard Sled Race will begin at 1 p.m. at Fern Park. Bring along your own creation made strictly of cardboard and tape. Prizes will be awarded in the fastest, slowest, and best design categories.
This will be the fourth and final race of the new Central Adirondack Cardboard Sled Race Circuit.
Hot cocoa and donuts can be enjoyed as you warm yourself by the bonfire.
At 5 p.m., the fun moves to Arrowhead Park where there will be a bonfire with complimentary hotdogs and hot cider.
A spectacular fireworks display over the snow and ice will begin at approximately 7 p.m.
Following the fireworks there will be Wine and Chocolate Sampling at Matt’s Draft House at Screamen Eagle.
The event is made possible by the Town of Inlet and a tremendous amount of support by local businesses and individuals.
