The late January snow Mother Nature has painted on Wiscasset may not melt any time soon, but even it does, Winterfest, set for Saturday, Feb. 1, will happen, Parks & Recreation Director Todd Souza said.

Among the highlights is an early evening fireworks show.

A lack of snow nixed the 2013 installment of Winterfest. This year, plans call for more of a mix of indoor and outdoor offerings, to make the conditions somewhat moot.

The event at the Wiscasset Community Center on Route 27 opens at 10 a.m., with a daylong ice-sculpting demonstration sponsored by Newkirk Inn. The rest of the action begins at 2 p.m. Activities include a Wiscasset Fire Department bonfire from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m.; winter-themed story-telling and activity, with Judy Flanagan, from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m.; ice skating at the community playground, also on Route 27, from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m.; a Chewonki Foundation winter tent and naturalist walk-snowshoe, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.; and snowmobile rides with the Wiscasset Sno-Goers, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Club members will give the rides, Sno-Goers President Chet Grover said. Children and adults are welcome; helmets will be available, Grover said.

Also on tap are a float-n-flick (movie in the pool), from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.; and a supper from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. to benefit both the community center’s scholarship fund and Wiscasset High School’s “Spirit Challenge” food drive. Contact the center at 207-882-8230 for details.

Stick around for the fireworks, sponsored by The First and set to light up the sky from 6:45 p.m. to 7 p.m.; and a dance, featuring “The Dyer Neck Gang,” from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.

The department began hosting Winterfest in 2011, Souza said. “We’ve had some good ones, but this year’s could be one of the best,” he said.
