Frozen Assets 2026 — Celebrate Winter on Lake Mendota with Clean Lakes Alliance

Get ready for an unforgettable winter weekend in Madison, Wisconsin! The 14th Annual Frozen Assets Festival & Fundraiser — presented by Clean Lakes Alliance — returns to The Edgewater and Lake Mendota on Saturday, February 7th and Sunday, February 8th, 2026. This family-friendly event celebrates our lakes as the community’s greatest natural asset while raising vital funds for lake protection and education.

Frozen Assets is more than just a winter festival — it’s a community celebration and fundraiser that highlights the importance of Madison’s lakes throughout the year. Even in the coldest months, our lakes serve as expansive winter parks, and this event invites locals and visitors alike to explore them in fun, interactive ways.

Since its inception in 2012, Frozen Assets has helped raise substantial funding — over $1,200,000 — supporting lake improvement projects, educational programs, and volunteer water quality monitoring throughout the region.
