Tips & Advice

  • Choose one of the three live demonstrations—two on Saturday and one on Sunday—if you want to watch the carving rather than only see finished work.
  • Return later in the day to stroll past and admire the finished sculptures after the live demonstrations.
  • Wear warm layers for this outdoor Main Street event, especially if you plan to stay standing through a full carving demonstration.
  • Bring a camera or phone to capture the ice artwork as it takes shape and again when the finished sculptures are displayed.
  • Take advantage of the free admission and stop by for a demonstration or a later look at the completed ice art.
