Fire & Ice Winter Festival – 2025

It’s here: The Fire and Ice Winter Festival – 2025 celebrates everything White Pine County offers during the winter months.

The community wide festival will once again have multiple events throughout the area for people of all ages. Locations include Nevada Northern Railway, downtown businesses, and Ward Mtn Recreation Area, and Broadbent Park. Bring the entire family down for activities around sports, arts, food and drink, tournaments, live music and more.
