Fourth-generation ice boater Luke Lawrence and crewmate Max Lopez are carrying on a Hudson River winter tradition that dates back centuries. When conditions align with smooth ice and steady wind, vintage ice yachts can reach speeds approaching 100 miles per hour as steel runners glide across frozen rivers. This winter, the pair piloted the ice yacht Ariel to win the Van Nostrand Challenge Cup on New Jersey’s Navesink River, returning the trophy to the Hudson River Yacht Club for the first time in more than a century.

The event features more than 60 international artists and over 80 performances!

Join them for a packed week of world-class contemporary performance, installation, music, dance, and theatre—all exploring winter as a time of community and solitude, fire and ice, darkness and light.
