What's better in wintertime than an excuse to head outside? No, really – WINTERFEST at Austin Landing is happening on Saturday, Feb. 17, from 2-6 p.m., and it's the perfect reason to be outside on a cold winter day. Sponsored by Kettering Physician Network, this third annual event will feature everything from ice sculpting demonstrations to interactive ice sculptures, turning the Park at Austin Landing into a winter wonderland.

World champion ice sculptors, including Chad Hartson from team “Winter Wonders” on the Food Network’s Cake Wars, will be on hand to show all the amazing things they can do with ice. Be sure you are there before 5 p.m., because that is when the big Ice Battle begins. The professionals will go head-to-head and see who can create the coolest original masterpiece right before your eyes.

The best part about this event is that it’s FREE for everyone to attend! Don't forget to warm up with some fresh hot cocoa from the Hilton Garden Inn and Staybridge Suites while you’re there. Plan to come early, enjoy the fun, and then visit one of the 15 restaurants located at Austin Landing for a drink, snack or great dinner.

Due to anticipated heavy attendance, you are encouraged to park in the garage adjacent to the events area. Additional parking will be available behind Progress Park Tower. This event will be outdoors, so be sure to dress appropriately for the weather.

Bundle up the kids and bring them out to WINTERFEST at Austin Landing on Feb. 17. You're guaranteed to have a N-ICE time!
