Winterfest at Lyman Orchards

Lyman Orchard's 39th Annual Winterfest will provide hours of outdoor and indoor enjoyment.

Renowned ice carver and former national champion Bill Covitz returns to our event, testing his carving and artistic skills against other ice carving superstars and archrivals Buddy Rasmussen from Texas, Jeff Day from New Hampshire, and two other talented and carvers familiar to Connecticut ice carving fans, Jeff Scarpa and Gary Costa.

Winterfest visitors will enjoy a role in deciding the winner by voting for their favorite ice sculpture as the carvers compete against the clock and each other for cash prizes.
