During the day it's cool...but at night they come alive because each sculpture is lit each night from dusk to 10 p.m.
You can check it out from the the boardwalk at the Freighthouse or from a vehicle.
They'll have a live ice carving competition in-person and on Facebook from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1-2 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 16.
If you get chillly the warming station offers free hot chocolate and a fire pit at the Freight House's outdoor patio during ice carving competition and from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday
They'll have Farmers' Market vendors (10 a.m. - 6 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. Sunday) as well as local beer and food available for purchase from Front Street Brewery, Antonella's II and The Diner
