HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania (WPMT) Harrisburg’s annual Ice & Fire Festival will return this weekend, albeit with a new name and format to keep everyone safe during the COVID-19 pandemic, the city said Wednesday.
Much like the modifications made to the Fire & Ice Festival in Lititz, Lancaster County last month, Harrisburg’s annual ice sculpture event has been tweaked to ensure its visitors can enjoy viewing 55 large and small ice sculptures spread across the city while staying safe.
Now called “Ice in the Burg,” the modified event will be held Friday through Sunday. The sculptures will be available for viewing at City Island, Downtown, Midtown, Italian Lake, Shipoke, and Reservoir Park, according to organizers.

As even the mighty Punxsutawney Groundhog Club, keeper of Pennsylvania’s most famous groundhog, prepares for a virtual Groundhog Day on Tuesday, February 2, events across the region are taking various approaches to their own celebrations in a time of pandemic and social distancing.
The Union Kanaal Grundsau Lodsch No. 17 (Groundhog Lodge Number 17 on the Union Canal) has canceled its festivities along the banks of the Tulpehocken Creek in Myerstown.
Since 1981 members of the lodge have given Uni the groundhog a raft ride down the creek to a seasonal forecast celebration in English and Pennsylvania Dutch.
