A decadent tradition of delectable chocolate, sparkling ice sculptures, and Valentine’s Day shopping!

Ice Sculptures, installation beginning Friday, Feb. 9, 2024
Over 20+ ice sculptures will be on display for viewing around town during the festival. A special sneak peek with a limited number of sculptures will be illuminated on Friday night on the Essex Street Pedestrian Mall and Lappin Park only, and on Saturday night all of the sculptures will be lit. Sculptures will be illuminated between 5:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. both nights, weather permitting.
Viewing the ice sculptures is free to all and is not a ticketed event. A map of all ice sculptures and more information will be available on the website closer to the festival.
