On Feb. 13, Manayunk.com and Founders Brewing Company partnered to transform Main Street Manayunk into an outdoor winter festival.
From 11-4, hundreds of masked and socially distanced locals strolled Main Street to enjoy ice sculptures, ice carving demonstrations by the Ice Sculpture Philadelphia team, live music, shopping, food and drink specials, and more at the Founders Philly Freeze-Out.
Communitarian photographer Jen Warner captured the event’s highlights:
