Central Park Conservancy’s Ice Festival

This Valentine’s Day, celebrate your love of Central Park at our 4th annual Ice Festival. Witness ice-carving artists from Okamoto Studio use electric chain saws, chisels, and picks to transform more than 3,000 pounds of ice into a glistening replica of the Park’s most romantic statue ― Romeo and Juliet by Milton Hebald (1966). As night falls, revel among colorful lights as the Mall becomes a 1980s-themed silent disco with live DJs, all as part of Central Park Conservancy’s 35th Anniversary celebration. Founded in 1980, Central Park Conservancy is the private nonprofit organization responsible for the management, restoration, and enhancement of Central Park. - Live ice carving by Okamoto Studio from 3-5pm - Silent Disco starts at 5pm - Photobooth, trivia, treats, & more ongoing throughout the event
