Upper Dublin still seeking more volunteers for Fire & Ice Festival

Upper Dublin Township will host the Upper Dublin Fire & Ice Festival 2025 on Friday, Feb. 21 and Saturday, Feb. 22 at 1100 Virginia Drive, Fort Washington.

However, for the event to be as successful as possible, the township needs more volunteers to help set up and facilitate the two-day event.

"Volunteer support from the residents and businesses of our community is vital for this community celebration to be successful. Volunteers are needed for site set-up, direct participants, monitor activities, and site clean-up," the township wrote. "Please consider helping as we continue to celebrate all that is GOOD in UDT!"

On the sign up forms, at the time of publishing, only a handful of volunteers have been confirmed. Each event takes about 25 volunteers, and less than five are signed up at any given event.

The fun-filled township event will feature tons of activities and entertainment. Each day has a jam-packed schedule and, best of all, both days are free of charge. No reservations or tickets are needed. Come out one or both days to enjoy the atmosphere.

• The Blue Waters band will take the stage for a live performance at 7 p.m.; and a live fire performance will happen at 8 p.m.
