Jim Thorpe Winterfest Has It All For A President's Day Weekend To Remember

For those who know historic Jim Thorpe, WinterFest is a great reason to get out of the house, celebrate winter and enjoy all this small town has to offer. For anyone who hasn’t yet experienced the wonder of this hidden, beautiful gem in the southern Pocono Mountains, it’s the perfect time to explore the kind of festivities Jim Thorpe is known for.

On Saturday and Sunday, February 19th and 20th, the 29th annual celebration will feature ice carvings and ice bars, live entertainment, train rides, horse drawn carriage rides, food and drink specials, and of course the famous Mug Walk.

Mug Walkers take the official souvenir Jim Thorpe mug to participating shops

and restaurants where they will receive sweets, treats, trinkets, novelties and special discounts. Mugs are in limited quantity, so get your tickets now at bestofjimthorpe.com for $30 each.

Wander along Broadway, West Broadway and the iconic Race Street where you will experience Victorian architecture like nowhere else. The best part is, the spectacular winter views from all over town are free.
