It’s Iceworm time! The 2023 Iceworm Festival is coming up Jan. 28 through Feb. 4. Get your
powers primed, because the theme this year is Super Iceworm. Zoom over to
www.icewormfestival.com for all your festival needs — our Facebook and Instagram are good
spots too!
You’ll notice events like the Survival Suit Races, Paper Airplane Contest, and the Variety Show
are back this year. With community support and participation, this year’s festival is sure to be
enjoyed by all.
A few of our favorite things to get ready for are….
● Get your event on our schedule! The Cordova Times is your go-to for the printed
schedule. To be sure your event is listed — we need all events registered by Jan. 18!
● Nominate a SUPER Cordovan for Citizen of the Year, due Jan. 25.

This is a great way to come together and showcase your business and creativity down

Want to reach out to our team? We think it’s A SUPER idea to use our festival website,
Facebook page and email to stay in touch. Stay tuned for exclusive content in the upcoming
editions of the Cordova Times, such as the only printed schedule, the showcase of Miss
Iceworm Program Candidates, and more event information.
Due to the fact that Iceworm is purely volunteer driven by and for the community, the
best way to participate in the festival is to become a sponsor, create an event, volunteer, and
show up to events! We are looking forward to a super festival this year!
