Who says the Delaware beaches are only good for Speedos and summer hookups? The annual Fire & Ice Festival gives you a reason to head south when the temperatures drop and the boardwalk crowds disappear.
Celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2027, the festival brings more than 100 ice sculptures, bonfires, live music, food trucks, and plenty of opportunities to warm up with a cocktail. This year’s theme, “Fun & Games,” adds a playful twist to the festivities across Bethany Beach and neighboring coastal towns.
It’s an easy winter escape from Rehoboth Beach, with enough ice to make your bartender jealous.
Pack a scarf instead of a Speedo. Unless you’re feeling particularly optimistic.
