Now entering its 6th year, Fishtown Kensington Area Business Improvement District and Fishtown Co are excited to announce the return of our annual Fishtown Freeze ice sculpture event and holiday shopping extravaganza that brings dozens of custom-designed ice sculptures, holiday Shopping Spree discounts at over 20 participating area retailers, and more to the streets of Fishtown!
Highlights of the one-day Fishtown Freeze include four interactive live ice sculpture carvings by internationally renowned ice sculpture artists Ice Sculpture Philly, outdoor Pop-Up Makers Markets throughout the day, and, new this year, a free Trolley traveling up and down Frankford Avenue from noon-8pm, plus progressive holiday shopping deals at the area’s independent boutiques, photos with Santa at Frankford Hall and Vince’s Pizzeria, food and drink specials at all your favorite restaurants, and even more holiday fun! There is no admission fee and most individual events are free. Rain date for the ice sculptures and outdoor portions of the event are December 15.
Fishtown is easily accessible by the Market-Frankford subway line, as well as several trolley routes. Follow @fishtownfeastivale and @fishtown_district on Instagram, @fishtowndistrict on Facebook, #fishtownfreeze or visit www.fishtowndistrict.com.
Fishtown Freeze is sponsored by Fishtown Kensington Area BID, Fishtown Co, Ice Sculpture Philly and The Battery.
