Groveland Ice Rinks

More Frost Fest 2.0 photos!

On January 31, 2026, the Groveland area community came together to celebrate Frost Fest 2.0 - and what a celebration it was! Originally planned for the prior Saturday on "Hockey Day Minnesota," the event was postponed due to dangerously cold temperatures. Anyone who has organized an event knows the worries that come with rescheduling: Will people still be able to attend? Will volunteers be able to adjust their schedules? And, of course, will the weather cooperate?

Happily, every concern melted away. On the rescheduled day, more than 500 people gathered under sunny skies to enjoy hot chocolate, cookies, and goulash around the fireplaces. Families and friends took part in puck coloring, free skating lessons, a hockey shooting contest, and a wide variety of games and activities for kids of all ages. The winter clothing drive added a meaningful opportunity to give back, rounding out a day that truly had something for everyone.

It was a wonderful occasion to come together as a community, celebrate the tremendous city we call home, meet new friends, and strengthen existing connections. The laughter, smiles, and shared fun were contagious, and the spirit of togetherness could be felt throughout the day.

A heartfelt thank-you goes to Tori Miller and the Macalester Groveland Community Council; Patti Schwartz and the Groveland Recreation Center; and the Groveland Ice Rinks Volunteer Organization for hosting and organizing such a terrific event. Special thanks as well to Groveland Tap and Play It Again Sports for their incredible support.

Frost Fest 2.0 was truly a family affair and a perfect reminder of what makes the Groveland community so special.
