Dilworth Park is celebrating the final days of Winter at Dilworth Park this Saturday, February 18 with Center City District’s (CCD) first-ever Ice Festival.  Starting at 1 p.m., intricate ice sculptures will be on display throughout the park as guests enjoy a full day of entertainment, including professional ice dancers, strolling circus arts and a frozen mini golf course.
