With carvings stationed on the bike loop corridor from downtown along Main St., to the Historic Depot District,, Downtown Richmond will be transformed into an ice art gallery of sorts.
“The festival organizers are excited that the event is actually happening,” said Nancy Sartain, Richmond-Wayne County Convention and Tourism Bureau leisure marketing director. “They thought holding the event this year would be impossible due to COVID. However, creative minds, and the carvers’ willingness to come, turned it around.”
Some of the festival’s usual events have been modified to ensure social distancing. Drive-in movies are scheduled for Friday and Saturday nights starting at 7 p.m., and the “Magical Snowflakes on Main Scavenger Hunt” is happening throughout the duration of the festival, from Jan. 27 through Jan. 30. Food trucks will also be on site.
