Each winter, volunteers in this small Adirondack village cut blocks of ice from Lake Flower and build a full ice palace by hand on the shore, a tradition going back to the 1890s. The ten-day carnival that follows has a new theme every year, a costumed gala parade through town, fireworks over the palace, and races and games on the snow. Most of the people there are locals and their visitors.
