On Saturday and Sunday, February 22nd and 23rd, Downtown Canandaigua will host its 9th Annual Fire & Ice Winter Festival. This year’s lineup will be unforgettable with impressive professional ice carving and speed carving competitions, fire shows, snow sculpting, a dog sled team, close encounters with unique winter animals, fire-building competitions, the Annual Chefs’ Challenge and Comfort in a Cup beverage trail, and so much more… this event will melt away any winter blues.

Each Sunday evening at 9 PM, October through April, the Schola Cantorum, an ensemble of voices and historical instruments directed by Stephen Kennedy, performs the 30-minute liturgy by candlelight. On the first Sunday of each month, a Candlelight Concert at 8:30 PM precedes Compline.
