February 4th is Cordova Ice Worm Day. Celebrate by having an ice-cold Ice Worm Cocktail.
The legendary Ice Worm is celebrated through many winter festivals in northern communities where winter is a cause for celebration. With no resident groundhog to view, Cordova, Alaska, on Prince William Sound, celebrates February 4 as Cordova Ice Worm Day, and the first February weekend as the Cordova Ice Worm Festival which begins with a parade lead by a 100-foot worm. Later in the season -- late March -- Faro, Yukon celebrates the Ice Worm Squirm, a festival that features ice sculptures, snow and ice games and much food.
