Predicted spring-like temperatures this week shouldn't melt the excitement for this weekend's 2020 Plymouth Ice Festival that will officially kick off 5 p.m. Friday.

The annual winter extravaganza that features many of the world's top ice sculptors practicing their craft will be open from 5-10 p.m. Jan. 10; 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 11, and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 12, but the sculptures will be available for viewing 24 hours a day during the three-day festival.

Early weather reports project rain and a high of 52 degrees on Friday with temperatures dipping down into the low-40s on Saturday and Sunday.

The festival is advertised as a fun time for young and old, and a optimal cold-weather event that attracts shoppers to downtown Plymouth businesses.

• Interactive ice sculptures: Visitors can get their photo taken throughout the festival with the most eye-popping ice creations. Selfies are encouraged with the sculptures that are guaranteed to blow your mind.
• Dueling chainsaw competition: In this fan-pleasing contest between ice carvers, artists are given 15 minutes and one block of ice to create a blue-ribbon sculpture.
