There’s no shortage of winter activities in The 6ix and there are quite a few to look forward to in the upcoming months. One anticipated attraction is the annual Bloor-Yorkville Icefest 2023, which will be back for its 17th year. It will feature a selection of ice sculptures, live ice carving demonstrations and even an entire ice lounge. Special sculptures will also be available at night time for viewing.
