Ice Festival (1/25-27)

January 25th-27th, 2008

I heart cleveland for winter, I really do. People may think I am crazy, but to me the glistening snow looks like the neighborhoods have been sprinkled with powdered sugar. A sweet stillness fills the air and the crisp crackling crunch of the snow under foot excites the senses. Plus, I am a coat-a-holic so the more opportunities I have to bundle up, the better. Enough about me, let's get to the "cool" event at hand, Ice Festival 2008 presented by Crocker Park.

It's a weekend to celebrate freezing temps, sparkling ice sculptures, and some chilly competition. The celebration begins Friday with the presentation of the Ice Throne at 5pm and the lighting of the Fire & Ice Tower at 7pm. Saturday and Sunday the professional team competitions begin at 11am and run throughout both days.

Be sure to dress warm and plan to enjoy one of the many restaurants at Crocker Park during the festival. From hot chocolate at Starbucks to a glass of red wine at Brio. There is something to warm everyone.
