FRANKENMUTH – Despite the warmer weather, Zehnder’s Snowfest on Saturday, Jan. 27 packed sidewalks with enjoyable winter festivities.
Downtown Frankenmuth was filled with activities for those in attendance including: snow and ice sculptures, a petting zoo, husky puppies, pony rides, horse carriage rides, warm-up tents, food stands, ice skating and more.
Snowfest took place Jan. 24 to Jan. 28 and marked the 33rd annual Zehnder’s Snowfest. While rain and warmer temperatures impacted some sculptures; the majority were still an amazing sight for visitors.
People lined up to walk by the amazing Under the Sea themed exhibition featuring ice sculptures by master ice sculptor Greg Butauski.
“My favorite part was seeing the giant ice sculptures in the sea theme,” said Sarah Sullivan of Waterford, Mich.
“Kaden’s favorite part was probably the petting zoo and riding on the pony,” Sullivan said about her two-year-old son.
Those who attended Saturday afternoon got to enjoy the sculptures while contending with packed sidewalks of people. The busy sidewalks of the event is a clear testament to Frankenmuth’s iconic winter event.
