Tamworth Outing Club and Chocorua Lake Conservancy 2025 Winter Fest
Food and fire, nature and art, indoors and outdoors, community connections and fun!
On Saturday, February 8 from 2–10 PM, join us for Winter Fest, a fun-filled community event offering a variety of indoor and outdoor activities for all ages.
This collaborative event, held annually at the Preserve at Chocorua (who are kind enough to donate their entire property) was designed to benefit the Chocorua Lake Conservancy, the Tamworth Outing Club and the entire Tamworth community. Registration will open in early January, and rooms will be available at the Preserve over the weekend, with all proceeds also benefiting TOC & CLC.

In prior years we have offered a winter camping expo featuring tents, snowshoes, and trapping gear, with demonstrations by local experts. The opportunity to learn about animal adaptations and furbearers through interactive displays of pelts, skulls, tracks, and scat, and enjoy a nature scavenger hunt for kids. Outdoor activities include bonfires, s’mores, sledding, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing (bring your own equipment), and maybe cold-water dipping! There will also be indoor winter crafts for all ages, displays by local organizations, and, weather permitting, a communal snow sculpture.

After a day of outdoor and winter activities, warm up indoors with a delicious supper, drinks, storytelling, and live music, wrapping up the big day with one of Tamworth Outing Club’s world-famous dances! Throughout the event, participate in a silent auction featuring artwork and special experiences.
This is a community-inspired effort with proceeds going to the TOC and CLC. We could not do it without the assistance of many volunteers and businesses who donate their time, energy and products for the good of the community.
