Head to Lake Michigan on New Year's Day for free, fun, outdoor entertainment. The 38th annual "Cool Fool Kite & Snow Carving Festival," presented by The Kite Society of Wisconsin/Illinois and Gift of Wings, will take place from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Jake "The Kite Guy" will fly his giant kites – some of which are more than 100-feet long – and put on an engaging sky show. Guests can bring their own kites or buy them on-site at a 30-percent discount.
Other entertainment includes the professional ice carving group "The Quiet Snow and Ice Carver" which will live-carve designs. The group are National Snow and Ice Carving champions and recently appeared on Disney Plus.
Free hot chocolate, coffee and snacks – courtesy of Gift of Wings – will be available while supplies last. Food and drink items will also be for sale.
The Polar Plunge will take place at noon on nearby Bradford Beach.
