❄️ The Ice Is Moving ❄️
First Annual Catawba Island Ice Shove
This winter, we invite you to slow down, gather close, and admire the ice.
Join us for a brand-new Catawba Island tradition celebrating one of Lake Erie’s most powerful and breathtaking natural phenomena where frozen water becomes art, light, and inspiration.
📅 February 6-8th
📍 Gideon Owen Wine Company – Gideon Square
✨ What to Expect:
• Hand-carved ice sculptures
• Glowing ice luminaries lighting Gideon Square
• Authentic frozen Lake Erie ice, gathered and displayed
• Firepits roaring to keep you warm as you stroll and sip
• A one-of-a-kind ice bar, serving winter-inspired cocktails to celebrate the season
When the winds align and the currents shift, Lake Erie’s ice presses toward shore, forming towering blue ridges and frozen monuments. Whether the ice is actively moving or standing still, the beauty is undeniable and worth lingering over.
🌊 Nature provides the spectacle, we provide the gathering.
Warm up by the fire, raise a glass at the ice bar, and take in a winter weekend shaped by wind, water, and community.
✨ More details coming soon.
Bundle up and join us for the very first Catawba Island Ice Shove.
