Celebrating 11 years of Winter Fun

Cold weather did not scare the hardy Minnesotans who came out to enjoy the many activities of Arctic Fever! The Joey Nova's Pizza Party and Sculpture Garden were a huge hit! Numbers were down for Saturday events due to the below zero wind chills, but there were still plenty on hand to enjoy the day. Watch for pictures and plans for 2017!

Check updates to times and events! There have been some changes--additions and subtractions!

Free Pizza Party and Fun Friday 5:30-7:30 pm

Although the lack of snow is taking the snow sculpting out of our Friday fun, we will still have the free Joey Nova's pizza party, complete with samples from Excelsior Brewing. To make the night extra fun there will be an ice carver, fire dancers, kids crafts by New Horizon Academy, a candlelight tour, photo booth and geocaching. Best part: it's all free! Bring family, friends, neighbors and anyone you think needs a fun eveing out!

All Friday activities take place at Southshore Center, 5735 Country Club Road, Excelsior 55331 (right next to Badger Park and Shorewood city hall).
