Ready for some fire and ice? The Lawn on D in South Boston has announced its “Winter on D” programming. They’re calling a three-day celebration in January the “Fire and Ice Festival.”
However cheesy the theme is, the event itself sounds like an excellent holiday diversion. The Lawn on D will be transformed into a winter wonderland during the daytime portions of the festival, with “hotter” entertainment lined up for the evenings.
The “icy” features from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on January 3 and 4 (Saturday and Sunday) will include the following:
• A winter-themed pavilion with ice bar serving beer, wine, and hot cocoa;
• A giant five-foot-tall, 50-by-50-foot ice labyrinth with ice sculpture designed by Ice Effects and the Lawn on D’s creative producer, Christopher Wangro;
• Family-friendly activities; and
• Food trucks (Stoked Pizza and more TBA).
On January 2, 3, and 4 (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday), from 5 to 8 p.m., the Lawn on D will heat things up:
• Live fire art performers from American Repertory Theater and the Oberon;
• Free chowder samples from Legal Sea Foods (nom!); and
• Propane fire pits will be set up for visitors to warm up around.
The Fire and Ice Festival will take place Friday through Sunday, January 2 through 4.
