Jim Thorpe Winterfest: For those who know historic Jim Thorpe, WinterFest is a great reason to get out of the house, celebrate winter and enjoy all this small town has to offer. For anyone who hasn’t yet experienced the wonder of this hidden, beautiful gem in the southern Pocono Mountains, it’s the perfect time to explore the kind of festivities Jim Thorpe is known for.
On Saturday and Sunday, February 19 and 20, the 29th annual celebration will feature ice carvings and ice bars, live entertainment, train rides, horse drawn carriage rides, food and drink specials, and of course the famous Mug Walk.
Wander along Broadway, West Broadway and the iconic Race Street where you will experience Victorian architecture like nowhere else. The best part is, the spectacular winter views from all over town are free.
Don’t miss this milestone annual event, February 16-18, in downtown Jim Thorpe. The annual celebration kicks on Friday with a Luminary Walk from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. The celebration continues on Saturday and Sunday with MUG walk, ice carvings, live entertainment, trolley tours (weather permitting), carriage rides (weather permitting), food and drink specials, the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway round-trip train rides and more.
