The Downtown Downers Grove Annual Ice Festival was held in early February. Despite the unseasonably mild weather, attendees enjoyed live ice carving demonstrations all weekend long.

More than 50 creative ice sculptures lined the sidewalks in downtown Downers Grove.

Thank you to the Downers Grove Downtown Management Corporation for bringing this annual event to our community year after year.
