What makes The Ice Palace special
The Ice Palace is Cherry Grove’s club: main floor, outdoor deck and lounge on several levels, plus disco balls and neon. At the weekend there are headliner drag shows, pool shows and DJ sets until after 2 am. At the end of the season, after the Spartacus weekend, the Underwear Party takes place here. Guests praise the shows and atmosphere but criticise weak drinks and the heat inside.
Parties
At the start of the Invasion on 4 July people meet here from noon. The Underwear Party for the Spartacus weekend took place on 19 September in 2026.
