Check out ice carvers creating amazing sculptures at three different places. They’ll start at The Battery at noon, then head over to Mural City Cellars at 2 p.m. The last show kicks off at Garage Fishtown at 4. Local shops and restaurants have some great deals lined up. Grab a drink at Philadelphia Distilling or stop by Vince’s Pizzeria: they’re both running festival specials. Kids can get their picture with Santa throughout the day. Just grab a map when you get there to find all the photo spots. Make sure to join the rewards program while you shop. You can collect stickers at different stores to get 15% off at participating festival shops.

Now in its sixth year, this favorite winter event looks promising. Weather folks say we can expect clear skies and temperatures right around freezing.
