Lake of the Isles is transformed into an enchanted frozen wonderland illuminated by more than 1,200 handcrafted ice lanterns, glowing ice spires, fire dancers, and unique outdoor ice art installations. Families stroll, snowshoe, or cross-country ski along a 2-mile candlelit trail on the frozen lake surface. Along the way, stations provide complimentary hot cocoa, s'mores around crackling open bonfires, live acoustic music, and the beloved Ice-Cicle sculpture garden. Pull-sleds and wagons are welcome for babies and toddlers. ## Similar picks in Minneapolis - [Lake Harriet Winter Kite Festival: Colorful Giants Over Frozen Lake](https://grassyknees.com/minneapolis/activities/lake-harriet-winter-kite-festival-colorful-giants-over-frozen-lake--listing-8df321e8e1074f864f618a54) — Sat, Jan 23 · 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM · Lake Harriet Bandshell & Frozen Lake Harriet · All ages · Free · checked Nov 4.
