Venture Lititz and the Lititz Lions partnered to bring this exciting community event to town and although the weather was perfect for visitors, it was a little warm for ice sculptures. The Friday night block party kicked off the festivities with live carving demonstrations, food, cool lighting displays and more, which were enjoyed by hundreds of visitors.

Saturday included a carnival, vendor fair and the ever popular chili cook-off competition. Shown are DiMartino ice carvers putting the finishing touches on a John Deere tractor.
