The sixth annual Green Bay’s Winterfest On Broadway is a day of fun winter activities for all to enjoy. The most popular event is the Ice Sculpting Competition. Sculptors line the streets of the historic Broadway District as event-goers watch them create their masterpieces. In addition to the competition, two giant multi-block ice sculptures are chiseled by internationally renowned carvers for the public to use interactively during the event. At night, all finished sculptures are lit, creating a festive walking tour through the district. Another popular event is the Chili Cook-off. Hungry patrons can sample each of the entries and vote for the best, or buy a big bowl of their favorite flavor. Winterfest also includes hayrides, games and other outdoor activities keep families entertained all day long.

New this year will be a Balloon Glow and Artist Reception. The Balloon Glow will consist of hot air balloons decorated with lights and filled with hot air anchored in the district’s Leicht Park. Visitors will be able to walk amongst the balloons to see the decorations. A special artist reception will allow sculptors and sponsors to network with the general public over hors d'oeuvre and wine.
