The Keene Ice and Snow Festival is one of the highlights of the year in Keene, New Hampshire, just a short drive from our romantic New Hampshire bed and breakfast. It’s this Saturday, February 18 from 10:00 until 4:00 in downtown Keene and it’s free!

Featured activities are: professional and student ice carving, snow sculpting, and a snowboard rail jam. There are craft activities for the kids, a craft fair with lots of vendors, snowman making, horse drawn wagon rides, a bonfire and s’mores, a fire truck display and musical performances. If you want to really embrace winter, try tubing or snow boarding at Granite Gorge, located just outside of Keene on Route 9. Nothing like hurtling down an icy hill at breakneck speed to get your heart pumping!

Part of living in northern New England is getting outside and enjoying the cold weather. The Keene Snow and Ice Festival gives you so much to do that you’ll forget that it’s cold!
