Three winter-themed “Polar Glow,” events are coming to downtown Red Deer.
Starting this Saturday, there will be a party held every second weekend on the Ross Street Patio, courtesy of the Downtown Business Association.
Different activities— from ice sculptures, to glow-in-the-dark games, to a St. Patrick’s Day Party — will run from 3-8 p.m. on Feb. 17, March 2 and March 16.
The series kicks off with the annual Ice Sculpture event this coming Saturday. Watch the latest carvings come to life.

A Glow Event is planned for March 2. “Step into a world of magic… mesmerizing glow artists, fun glow games, live music, and an electrifying atmosphere under the stars,” states the DBA. Amid neon, glow-in-the-dark decorations, hot chocolate will be served and live music will be performed from 3 to 8 p.m.
Finally, don your greenest scarf and accessories for a festive St. Patty’s Party on March 16.
