CONNECTICUT — As temperatures plunge to single digits and below throughout the state this weekend, don’t expect much in the way of parades and grange fairs for your amusement. Instead, there are two “fire and ice festivals” and some journeys to outer and inner space to warm your heart while keeping you chill.
Shivering visitors to the “Fire & Ice Winter Festival” in Stamford on Saturday, Jan. 25, will find ice sculpting demonstrations, fire pits, boutique vendors, live music and more at the celebration in Columbus Park downtown. Festivities include a Chinese New Year Dance Performance at the Carousel from 10 to 11 a.m., and ice skating with characters from Disney’s “Frozen” at the Cohen Skating Center from noon to 2 p.m. Kids can also get creative making foil sculptures and fireworks in a jar at The Whittingham Discovery Center from noon to 3 p.m., while supplies last. Litchfield will be having its own “Fire & Ice Fun Fest” on the grounds of its Community Center Saturday from 1 to 3 p.m. Look for chilly hay rides, fire pits, crafts, food, fireside storytelling and more family fun.
