This family-friendly winter event returns January 16-18, 2026 

Join us January 16-18, 2026 in Downtown Davenport for Icestravaganza - a free, outdoor winter celebration at the Freight House.

Location: 421 W. River Drive - Downtown Davenport

This year's Icestravaganza, presented by Luxtown.com, brings the theme, This is Iowa, to life as a walkable ice festival celebrating Iowa pride, creativity and community. Explore a trail of ice sculptures along the Freight House boardwalk, watch live carving demonstrations and dive into the Outdoor Activity Zone, which features a few of Iowa's favorite interactive outdoor games and activities.

Warm up with complimentary hot cocoa from The Family Credit Union as you get ready for the weekend's biggest celebration: The After Glow Party, sponsored by T-Fiber. This family-friendly glow party features illuminated ice sculptures by renowned artist Rob Storm and live beats by DJ Buddha!

Meet the ice carvers! 

Throughout the weekend, don't forget to explore the delicious food and drink offerings from the Farmers Market vendors, Front Street Brewery & Taproom and Antonella’s Pizzeria II.
