Icefest is taking over Bloor-Yorkville on February 9 and 10

February marks the return of Toronto’s 14th annual Icefest in Yorkville.

This year’s theme is Hollywood North, turning Yorkville into a magical display of magnificent sculptures inspired by the success of the film industry in Toronto and Yorkville.
