Defy the Midwest cold and enjoy winter along the Mississippi River by jammin' at the Melvin Price Locks and Dam and National Great Rivers Museum!
The Rivers Project's second annual Ice Jam at the Dam is an outdoor, winter-themed festival to promote outdoor recreation and celebrate all things icy along the river. The event will, of course, feature live-music from Chris Cahill & Co., tours of the locks and dam, Winter Animal Presentations from TreeHouse Wildlife Center, warm food and beverage vendors, Park Ranger campfire programs, education booths, movies, face painting, and more!
Most activities will be primarily outdoors along the dam promenade to fully embrace the spirit of winter, but there will be plenty of campfires and heaters to keep you warm and cozy. Shed your hat and mittens when you head into the museum to CHILL out in our theatre with popcorn and a winter movie, get ARcTic at the craft table, or stroll through our glacial gallery for the Winter on the River photography contest!
