About the Event

Starting at 1:00 PM, head to Lemont Downtown to explore ice sculptures sponsored by Lemont businesses. At 3:00 PM, head over to Front Street for a live ice carving demonstration!

The carving will take place next to Next Mex near the Lighting Up Lemont display (319 Front Street). Weather permitting, our friends at the Lemont Tractor Club will be giving away free hayrides.

There is nothing better a cup of hot chocolate on a cold day. Visit the the Creamery’s hot chocolate bar after viewing sculptures for a free hot chocolate while supplies last, courtesy of the Village of Lemont.
