What if you had a freeze frame on history and could go back and experience things as they once were? Although you can’t freeze history, on Jan 29-30 you are invited to freeze yourself — just a little — and experience some surprising Lower Hudson Valley history at the 6th annual Knickerbocker Ice Festival at Rockland Lake State Park.
The two day festival celebrates Rockland Lake’s history as the epicenter of the ice industry during the 19th century. In addition to the professional ice carving competitions and demonstrations, portions of the three-mile paved path around Rockland Lake will showcase multiple attractions, intended to emphasize the festival’s themes of community, and sustainability. Admission is free; parking is $8.
