Sponsorship opportunities are now available for the Fire and Ice Festival, presented by the Bethany-Fenwick Area Chamber of Commerce. As 2027 marks the festival’s tenth anniversary, a “Fun & Games” theme will offer over 100 ice sculptures and feature activities like inflatables, bonfires, and live entertainment. Scheduled for January 29-31, 2027, festivities will be hosted throughout the Quiet Resorts, located in South Coastal Delaware. Visit fireandicede.com for schedule updates and more detailed information.

“This event is fully sponsored by Chamber member businesses, many of whom are working together to make it memorable for all festival guests. It’s a true community effort and the reason Fire & Ice continues to grow year after year,” says Lauren Weaver, executive director of the Bethany-Fenwick Area Chamber of Commerce. 

Presenting sponsors include Bethany Beach Ocean Suites, Southern Delaware Tourism, Bethany Beach Books, the Town of Bethany Beach, the Town of Ocean View, the Town of Millville, Salted Vines Vineyard & Winery, and State Farm Agent Billy Reese.

The main festival is free to attend, but there are also ticketed events like the Chili Cookoff, the Drink Tasting Tour, and Taste of Bethany that benefit the community. Last year’s festival raised over $50,000 in charitable donations!

Sponsorship opportunities of all levels are open for member businesses and potential new members of the Bethany-Fenwick Area Chamber. For a full list of opportunities and to get involved, head to bethany-fenwick.org.
