Winterfest Heats Up the Cold Weekend with Ice Skating, Live Music, and Firepits

Roscoe, N.Y. — This Saturday, Roscoe Mountain Club is embracing winter with Winterfest, a full afternoon of ice skating, snowshoeing, live music, and craft beer, hosted in partnership with Roscoe Beer Company. The festival runs from noon to 5 p.m., with an after-party until 8 p.m.“Winterfest is kind of like our love letter to the Catskills,” said Tiffany Conklin of Roscoe Mountain Club. “It’s about leaning into the season instead of hiding from it. Adults and kids can just relax and have some good outdoor fun.”Visitors can enjoy ice carving, horse-drawn carriage rides, sledding, bonfires with free s’mores, and a snowman-building contest. “The ice skating rink and live music is the most lively and festive part of the day,” Conklin said. “Snowshoeing and carriage rides offer a quieter way to enjoy the landscape.”Live music starts at 12:30 p.m. with Far Beyond Gone at Wolf Lodge, followed by BJ Hendrickson at the barn at 1 p.m. The festival also features local artisans, pop-ups, fire pits, and indoor crafts for kids, plus dog-friendly areas.“This is the 12th annual festival from Roscoe Beer Company,” Conklin said. “It’s a great way to support local artists, connect with the community, and show off everything the Catskills have to offer.”For details, visit roscoemountainclub.com or follow their social media channels.
