WHERE: Village of Yorkville Park
WHEN: Saturday, February 23
WHAT: Each year, the Bloor-Yorkville BIA puts on Icefest, a free, public festival that lifts the spirits of winter-weary Torontonians, even as it boosts foot traffic to the neighbourhood’s businesses. One of the main events is an ice carving competition. What did this year’s crop of chainsaw-wielding sculptors manage to coax out of their frozen blocks? Click through the photo gallery to find out.
