Get ready to embark on a icy adventure down College Avenue in Downtown Appleton!

Starting on Friday, February 23, brace yourself for an icy spectacle brought to life by the creative masters with Krystal Kleer Ice Sculptures, LLC. As you stroll along, prepare to be dazzled by a mesmerizing array of unique ice sculptures, each one a masterpiece standing proudly in front of our unique boutiques, specialty shops, and restaurants.

Step inside and thaw out and explore the amazing Downtown businesses along the Avenue. From toasty-hot cocoa to snug mittens and cozy winter fashion, Downtown Appleton has everything you need to embrace the magic of a Wisconsin winter. And let’s not forget the winter brews—because what’s a chilly stroll without a sip of something warm and delicious! 

*Sculptures will remain up as weather allows

Explore the ice sculptures that are placed along the sidewalks of College Avenue from the East end near Drew Street down to the West end near Locust Street, just past Memorial Drive. Make it easy and start by parking in the Red Ramp, attached to the Hilton Appleton Paper Valley Hotel.
