Thank You for Making Fire & Ice Unforgettable!

Fire & Ice is more than a winter festival— it’s a shared experience. To everyone who bundled up, gathered around fires, laced up skates, cheered on the carvers, laughed, danced, explored and celebrated winter with us: thank you. Your energy, curiosity, and sense of play are what bring this event to life year after year.

With Gratitude to Our Sponsors & Partners

The Fire & Ice Festival would not be possible without the incredible support of our sponsors, partners, artists, performers, vendors and volunteers. Your generosity, creativity, and belief in this event help transform the Alton Mill and surrounding grounds into a place of wonder in the heart of winter. We are deeply grateful for your role in making Fire & Ice welcoming, inspiring, and memorable for our community and visitors alike.

A Community That Shows Up—Even in the Cold

From families and friends to neighbours, visitors, and first-timers, Fire & Ice is a reminder of what happens when the community comes together. Thank you to everyone who supported local makers, shared moments by the fire, captured memories, and embraced the magic of the season with us. You are the heart of this festival.

Until Next Year…

As the fires fade and the ice melts, we’re already dreaming about what’s next. We can’t wait to welcome you back for another edition of the Fire & Ice Festival—new surprises, familiar favourites, and that unmistakeable winter magic.

Until then, stay warm, stay curious, and we’ll see you at the Alton Mill.
