Clean Lakes Alliance announced the return of the Frozen Assets Festival, a community event celebrating Madison’s lakes. The festival will take place Feb. 3–9, 2025, at The Edgewater and on frozen Lake Mendota.
This family-friendly festival is free and open to the public. It offers a schedule of winter activities, including ice skating, snowshoeing, interactive educational opportunities, and the Frozen Assets 5K Run/Walk. New this year, the festival will host the World Ice and Snow Sailing Championships, in which athletes race across the ice using skis, snowboards, windsurfing rigs, kites, and sails.
This year’s event marks the first time the Ice and Snow Sailing World Championships will be held in North America. Hosted by the International Kiteboarding Association and the World Ice and Snow Sailing Association, the championships will feature elite and recreational racers competing in categories such as course racing, marathon, speed, short-track slalom, and kite freestyle.
Further details will be provided at a live press event in early January to unveil the full schedule of activities.
