“During this chilly time of year, we like to bring the community together for a wintery blast of fun,” said Roxborough Development Corporation Executive Director Jacqueline Cusack in a statement. “The Pocket Park will transform into an Arctic Wonderland, featuring captivating ice sculptures and a plethora of activities, food, and overall magical experience.

“It is our way of not only bringing people together during the coldest month of the year, but to bring support and foot traffic to Roxborough to support our local businesses,” Cusack added. “It is fun but its a win-win for our community with a greater purpose.”

The event is free and open to the public, with food and drink options pay-as-you-go. More information and a full list of offerings can be found at roxboroughpa.com/events.
