Ice Fest FAQs

Where do I check in for a clinic?

Ice fest clinic check in is at the vendor village/ Ice park parking lot. Look for the clinic check in sign and volunteers will help you get started!

Where do I pick up my ice fest registration packet?

The registration station will be located at Two Fathoms Brewery in Downtown Winona. You can pick up your packet Thursday, Friday, & Saturday 9am-10pm. You do not need to check in at the registration station before a clinic.

How does the free transit work on Friday & Saturday?

Another benefit of registering for the ice fest is the option to leave your car at home and ride free in-town transit. The ice fest transit bus will run in a continuous loop Friday and Saturday from 8am-6pm. Pick-up/drop off locations are downtown and the ice park trailhead. There is also a free transit Friday evening 6pm-10pm to the Mn Marine Art Museum for the Glacial Spacial music performance and New Look Party. Schedules and maps will be sent out before the fest and posted.

Where can I rent climbing gear for the weekend?

Winona State university rents awesome equipment at a great price for the entire fest weekend. To reserve equipment email: michael.henderson@winona.edu

*** Demo cards are first come first serve after all clinic participants have been outfitted. If looking to have the same gear the entire weekend we strongly recommend renting.
