UCity Loop ~ Ice Carnival

Last weekend I attended the Loop’s Ice Carnival event for the first time. We lucked out with a pretty warm day for January.

There are so many festivals in St. Louis in the spring and summer, but many of us find ourselves cooped up inside during the winter months. It was nice to have an excuse to get outside and enjoy the Loop.

The days events included:

• Ice sculptures throughout Delmar
• Ice slide for the kids
• Bouncy slide
• Frozen cubes – I won a silver dollar!
• Putt Putt pub crawl
• Fire juggler on stilts
• S’mores & roasted marshmallows
• Temporary tattoo scavenger hunt
• Frozen Buns race

I shot some video to capture the event and to encourage you to make it out next year.

Plus, meet my fellow photographers who joined me in shooting the event. (Click on the thumbnail picture for a full size version)
