Sunday is the Big Game, but that’s not the only fun thing going on this weekend! Here are our picks for events happening in Hunterdon County from February 1 through February 3. You can always find even more things to do by visiting our Calendar.

Where: 1483 Route 179, Lambertville
Winner of four 2000 Tony Awards, Elton John and Tim Rice’s Aida is an epic tale of love, loyalty and betrayal, chronicling the love triangle between Aida, a Nubian princess stolen from her country, Amneris, an Egyptian princess, and Radames, the soldier they both love. Aida and Radames’ love for one another becomes a shining example of true devotion that ultimately transcends the vast cultural differences between their warring nations, heralding a time of unprecedented peace and prosperity. Tickets start at $23. Purchase here.

Fire & Ice Winter Madness Festival
When: Saturday, February 2 from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Where: Lebanon Township Memorial Park, 70 Bunnvale Road, Califon
Just because the temperatures have dropped doesn’t mean you have to hibernate all winter! The Lebanon Township Recreation Commission, Friends of Memorial Park and the Lebanon Township Volunteer Fire Department have teamed up to make the cold and snow a lot more bearable. Come hang out with friends and neighbors around the bonfire, bring your tailgating supplies and set up around the fire as early as 4pm. Grab something tasty from the food trucks (Empanada Guy and Chick Wings & Things LLC Food Truck Catering) and we’ll have free s’mores and hot beverages to warm you up. LTVFD will light the blaze at 5pm. Watch Bob “The Iceman” carve three 300lb blocks of ice. He’ll be looking for input from all the kids as to what he should create. If there’s snow on the ground, bring your sleds and if the pond is frozen, plan on ice skating!
