Join us for an afternoon of fun, family-friendly, wintertime activities at the Downtown Worcester Winter Festival, presented by the Downtown Worcester Business Improvement District and Perrone Landscaping, on Saturday, February 18 from 1-3pm on the Worcester Common. Lace up a pair of ice skates and take a spin on the Worcester Common Oval rink, brought to you by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts.The first 100 Downtown Worcester Winter Festival attendees who donate a canned good or non-perishable food item for Woo Fridge will skate for FREE and receive a hot chocolate and cookie courtesy of Brew on the Grid and Worcester Beer Garden! Skate rental: $5 per person. Learn a new winter sport and enjoy a little healthy competition at our curling lane. This activity is free and open to all during the festival! Watch icy works of art take shape during live ice carving demonstrations. Ice sculptures only last as long as the weather allows, so don’t miss your chance to see these limited-time installations during the winter festival. Creative Hub’s mobile art van will be there with free, hands-on arts and crafts for the whole family. Kids (and grownups) can get up close and “touch a truck” thanks to our presenting sponsor Perrone Landscaping. They’re bringing along a cool machine for festival-goers to explore. Meet some of your favorite Worcester team mascots, enjoy a snack from a local food truck, and lots more
