ICEFEST is Drive Smart’s yearly fundraiser for all the programs it offers the mountain community each year. IceFest takes place New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day with these exciting events at Evergreen Lake. New Year’s Eve Ball Drop – New York has nothing on Evergreen when it comes to ball drops! Spend your New Year’s Eve on Evergreen Lake, one of CNN’s Top 10 most beautiful ice skating rinks, for two fireworks displays, and for the finale at midnight a custom made, 5’ ball sculptured out of ice to be lowered as 2015 approaches.
