Festival Haiku - Sandstone Ice Festival - Dec 14-16 Poem by john tiong chunghoo

Located just over an hour north of the Twin Cities, Sandstone features a diverse community unlike anywhere else in Minnesota. In addition to the beautiful parks, trails, lakes, and rivers in the region, Sandstone has become the home of the Midwest Country Music Theater and the annual Sandstone Ice Festival.

Sandstone Ice Festival - Celebrating our 8th year of winter adventure.
The vibrant festival celebrates the best of winter adventure sports from ice climbing to skinny skiing, winter camping and shoe shoeing. It is a gathering of kindred spirits who share a love for all things cold.
The Sandstone Ice Festival reaches winter lovers from around the Midwest and Canada. We look forward to this year's festival, to reuniting with old friends and to making new climbing partners.
