Finally, the annual Winter Extravaganza Sale will also take place this weekend – look out for the stores with green and white balloons to score special deals, end of season clearance and more; and a number of food trucks will also be on site throughout the weekend. This is truly what makes Crocker Park the best place to shop, dine and play.
“We’re thrilled to host the Crocker Park Ice Festival again this January,” said Stacie Schmidt, VP of Marketing. “This event is designed to create memorable moments for families and friends, bringing joy to the post-holiday season. From breathtaking ice sculptures and live entertainment to local vendors, shopping and dining, there’s something for everyone. We can’t wait to see you there!”
The Crocker Park Ice Festival, presented by Westland Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing with support from Ohio Basement Authority, is free to attend and open to the public. It is encouraged that people attend earlier in the weekend for the best experience as Cleveland’s weather is unpredictable and may cause melting of the sculptures.
