25 YEARS OF WINTER FUN:

The History of Winterfest and the United States
National Snow Sculpting Championship

The year was 1996 and something big was
born in this relatively small resort town of
Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. It was the
inaugural year of Winterfest, a festival
organized by local business owners, agencies and community leaders
to celebrate the season and promote the beautiful Lake Geneva region.
A meeting with WinterFun, Inc. resulted in Lake Geneva becoming the
new home of the U.S. National Snow Sculpting Competition, Winterfest’s
marquee attraction. Now 25 years later, it is regarded as the gold
standard of snow sculpting competitions and draws over 50,000 guests
to enjoy snow sculptures and an array of fun winter-inspired events and
activities throughout the region.
WinterFun, Inc. was established in 1985
to create the first United States National
Snow Sculpting Competition. The event
debuted in 1986 as a contest of artistry, skill,
boundless creativity, and team spirit. Since
then, WinterFun has become synonymous
with the sport of snow sculpting throughout the United States, sanctioning
more than a dozen state competitions, each sending their winners to the
championship event. Now known as the U.S. National Snow Sculpting
Championship, WinterFun, Inc. is proud to celebrate its 35th anniversary
and 25th year as the centerpiece of Winterfest - Lake Geneva.
