NEW DATE! The Knickerbocker Ice Festival has been postponed due to frigid weather and impending snow storm! Next week, I will be creating a new Still Here  installation for the festival on the east side of the lake- so please come Jan.31 and Feb 1st -when the weather is better - AND there is a FULL MOON! Timothy Englert , co-founder of the Knickerbocker Ice Festival, said, "One cannot explore the history of Rockland Lake without recognizing those who were there before us." 

The Knickerbocker Ice Festival is returning to Rockland Lake State Park on January 24-25, 2026. This year, a new site-specific installation titled  "Still Here"  will be unveiled on the east side of the lake, nestled in a serene wooded area. This installation honors the enduring presence and resilience of the Ramapough Munsee Lenape women, whose history is deeply intertwined with the land surrounding Rockland Lake.
