Frozen Assets Festival
Join Clean Lakes Alliance on Saturday, February 7, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. for Frozen Assets, with Hosting Sponsor The Edgewater! The free, family-friendly festival on frozen Lake Mendota at The Edgewater connects the community with the lake through free winter activities.
Festival attendees can see skydiving, figure skating, dance, science, and large show kite demonstrations. Guests can also participate in an Indigenous Snow Snake Contest, try pond hockey and snowshoeing, and enjoy free ice skating and hot chocolate, among other activities.
The day begins with the annual Frozen Assets 5K Run/Walk on frozen Lake Mendota. Whether you run, walk, ski, snowshoe, skate, or even ride in a sled, participants experience the thrill of crossing frozen Lake Mendota for a good cause. Registration includes admission to the 5K, a winter stocking hat, and post-race beer (21+) courtesy of Wisconsin Distributors. Kids ages 10 and under may participate for free with a registered adult. Proceeds support efforts to protect and improve the lakes, lands, and waters of the Yahara Watershed.
Each year, this FUNraiser, FRIENDraiser, and FUNDraiser highlights the year-round value of our lakes, while raising funds for lake improvement projects, educational programming, and volunteer water quality monitoring.
When the lakes freeze in Greater Madison, they become our largest parks. Clean Lakes Alliance encourages community members and visitors to experience these “frozen assets” and appreciate their importance, even in the middle of the winter.
