Join us on Front Street where professional chainsaw carvers will create large-scale, German-inspired carvings. These renowned carvers, local to the Pacific Northwest, will use a variety of chainsaws and other special tools to create their masterpieces. Between live carving times, they will be selling their other pieces and talking with customers and live music will be playing in the Gazebo. 

Live Carving Times*:
11:00 – 11:30 AM
1:15 – 1:45 PM

In between carving sessions, enjoy AlpenFolk playing the music of the Alps from 12:00 PM – 3:00 PM and the Leavenworth Alphorns from 3:00 – 3:30 PM at the Front St Park Gazsebo.

Following the live carving weekend, these carved masterpieces will be on display around town and up for auction! Visit LeavenworthChamber.org/carving-fundraiser for details!
