Six Flags Over Texas is introducing the Fire & Ice Winter Festival to kick off the park's 60th anniversary season in 2021.
The new event is open on weekends and holidays in January and February, and it features an ice carving show, an extended run of The Frosty Snowhill, and a finale each Saturday night with fireworks.
"We are thrilled to begin our 60th anniversary season at Six Flags Over Texas with a winter festival for guests to enjoy," Six Flags Over Texas Park President Ron McKenzie said. "Now, more than ever, families and friends are looking for opportunities to create special memories together, and this event offers a fun, thrilling, and safe experience for guests of all ages."
The event celebrates the 60th anniversary of the park's opening on Aug. 5, 1961. Guests can purchase one-day admission for $19.61 throughout the duration of the festival.
The festival will include live shows and entertainment, including Ice Carving by Reverend Butter in the GOTHAM CITY section of the park, Six Flags Over Texas said.
According to Six Flags Over Texas, Reverend Butter and his ensemble will show off their ice carving talents by slicing 300-pound blocks of ice into sculptures using a variety of tools.
As the sun sets, the park will light up with millions of lights, Six Flags Over Texas said. Plus, each Saturday, guests can conclude their day at the park by watching fireworks launch from the 300-foot Oil Derrick tower.
