Winterfest Weekend

Christmas is right around the corner, so it's time to get into a jolly mood! If you’re looking for something fun to do with the entire family, then The Forge: Lemont Quarries has the perfect weekend planned out just for you.

Beginning on Friday, December 17, from 5PM – 7:30PM, grab a drink at The Foundry and enjoy live ice sculpting where they will be craving a mountain bike from ice. This is a free event!

From Saturday to Sunday, December 18-19, The Forge Sings Christmas! The Caroling by Candlelight is an evening musical performance on top of The Foundry. While they fill the air with jolly music, you can fill up your bellies with hot chocolate and comfort foods from The Foundry. This event will be $15 per person.

Also, on Friday and Saturday, you can get competitive with one another and join in on a Holiday Scavenger Hunt to meet Eugene and Cory, The Forge’s friendly elves.
