Iced on Main in downtown Hartford is Saturday, February 14 if you need an icebreaker for Valentine's Day. 

The Mill and the Hartford Business Improvement District are working together to present this great annual event. The BID serves as the main sponsor, while The Mill facilitates all of the ice sculptures.

The Hot Cocoa Crawl returns, with a friendly competition between area businesses for bragging rights on who has the tastiest hot cocoa, along with a sponsorship for this year’s Movies in the Park. The Mill will also present an opportunity for Iced on Main visitors to vote on this year’s Movies in the Park. They will be set up in the Link Building, in downtown Hartford.

Hartford BID President Jason Wix told WTKM News that the event will bring people to the downtown during a slow time of the year for retail sales.

"It continues to be a wonderful event to kind of bring crowds down in a much needed time, to draw business into the businesses, restaurants and bars as January and February can be very slow months in retail."

A scavenger hunt will also be held in downtown Hartford.
