DETROIT, MI (WXYZ) — Head to Winter at Valade’s Fire and Ice festival– Friday, January 10 through Sunday, January 12 - for tons of medieval fun with a winter twist! All weekend enjoy oversized fires, turkey legs and an ice carving competition.
Try your hand at ax throwing, or take your picture on an Iron Throne - made of ice, of course. Frozen's Elsa and Renaissance Fair performers will be wandering the park for additional photo opportunities. The signature moment of the weekend is Fire and Ice Tower - a 7 foot ice structure that will become a giant bonfire once lit at 6pm on Saturday. You don't want to miss it!
