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!
