History of Cambridge Ice & Oyster Festival
The first year of the event was 2022 and happened during a snow storm. In our third year we had 50+ Ice Sculptures and over 8,000 visitors. This year will be even bigger and better as we host our 4th Annual Event. The Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay Resort and Spa is once again the 2025 Presenting Sponsor. Be sure come to enjoy the ice slide, fun for children of all ages and the ice skating rink.
