Maxwell’s Freaky Tiki Winterfest
Lake Geneva Winterfest is Back!
Maxwell Mansion is proud to be a sponsor of the 30th Annual Winterfest celebration presented by Visit Lake Geneva and the City of Lake Geneva. Winterfest will again feature the U.S. National Snow Sculpting Championship from January 29 - February 2, 2025. As the only national snow sculpting championship in the United States, Winterfest welcomes the most talented and award-winning sculpting teams from across the country. Be here to witness 15 state-champion teams at work during an epic 3-day competition where their artistry is put to the test in creating remarkable, larger-than-life snow sculptures. The snow sculpting competition begins at Wednesday and continues through Saturday at Riviera Plaza and Flat Iron Park along the beautiful shore of Geneva Lake. It's FREE to attend and view, and sculptures will remain on display through Sunday (and until they melt).
We're celebrating Lake Geneva's biggest winter event with island vibes and tropical fun at our Apothecary and Speakeasy Bars, where you'll find signature Maxwell Tiki beverages and exclusive Maxwell Tiki swag.
See below for a full schedule of our events, including our annual Kid’s Igloo!
