This year’s theme is "Back to the 80s."
"It’s a fun way to spend a weekend in the winter," said festival manager Sarah Enwald. "Because I am a child of the 80s, this is definitely something that I was like, yes we can do this. Plus, it’s just fun and an iconic theme."
From mullets to scrunchies, the community brought out their 80s fashion. Even the ice sculptures were one with the theme.
"We are happy to bring the 80s to Cedarburg," executive director Patrick Curran said.

Sarah Mesick from Wauwatosa said her family couldn’t miss it.
