Jan. 5—The Hotel Concord and Intown Concord have teamed up for Concord NH Winter Fest Friday through Sunday, Jan. 26-28.

The festival will feature ice-carving demonstrations and a competition, along with food trucks, a beer garden, telescope viewing with the McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center, Snow-ga with Blossom Yoga, and a Winterfest Family Dance Party with Mr. Aaron on the Bank of New Hampshire stage.

In addition, the Art & Bloom exhibition, which pairs artwork with floral designs, will be on view at Kimball Jenkins Estate, 266 N. Main St., from 2 to 7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 25, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Jan. 26-27.

The festival coincides with the 13th annual Black Ice Pond Hockey Tournament, which draws big crowds and about 95 teams for match-ups. That event kicks off Thursday, Jan. 25, and runs through Sunday, Jan. 28, weather permitting. The schedule includes bon fires, fireworks and public skating.

A free trolley service will be running on Saturday of that weekend to bring people back and forth between the festival and tournament.
