Downtown Downers Grove will transform into a winter wonderland when the 2022 Downers Grove Ice Festival kicks off Feb. 4.

Dozens of unique snow sculptures will be on display in front of restaurants and stores throughout the downtown area during the three-day long, family-friendly event. Past standout sculptures have included rabbits in top hats, unicorns, peace signs and more.

As in previous years, visitors can head to the Main Street Train Station to see the sculptures come to life via live ice carving demonstrations on Saturday and Sunday from 11:00am-3:00 pm

This year organizers are offering the community an opportunity to purchase an ice sculpture. If you, your family, an organization, or business would like to purchase one to have displayed in the downtown area, click here for the order form  or visit the Downers Grove website for more info. Order deadline has been extended until January 10th.

While downtown Downers Grove make sure to stop in your favorite boutiques, cafes and restaurants. Don’t forget to wear your face mask & maintain social distancing.
