Ice sculptors dazzled onlookers with their carved creations this Saturday at the Harbor Point Ice Festival.
Sculptures ranged from a functional ice slide to a Baltimore Ravens homage to a recreation of the city’s iconic “The Greatest City America” bench and more.
Attendees were able to watch artists at work with chainsaws, take photos with the ice carvings, enjoy food and drinks from local vendors, and listen to music.
Despite the cold, the fantastic artistry kept hearts warm and smiles beaming.
