The SHORE Line presents: Burning Snowman Fest

S2, E5 Ready to kiss winter goodbye? Come out and celebrate with us as we usher out the winter season with a giant snowman effigy on the beach! A popular Shores & Islands Ohio winter festival is just around the corner – the 2025 Burning Snowman Fest in Port Clinton on February 22, 2025. On this episode, host Jill Bauer talks to committee member and event coordinator Chassey Miller about this celebration of winter, music, and charity. We learn how the Burning Snowman Fest began and how it raises tens of thousands of dollars for several local charities annually. Chassey tells us what to expect from this year’s event. It all starts with the free Family Freeze on Friday, February 21st – a kid-friendly version of the fest with fire dancers, ice carving demonstrations, and hot cocoa. Then for Saturday’s 21-and-over event, plan to utilize the free shuttles from many North Shores locations to get down to the festival grounds. Rock out all afternoon with a stellar line-up of live bands and DJ entertainment , plus food and beverage vendors and, of course, the main event. The grand finale is the fire show with the burning of a 30 ft. tall snowman accompanied by fire dancers. You won’t want to miss the winter party at the beach!
