Middlemoon Creekwalk

One of our favorite ice lantern events is Jen and Tom Hedberg's Middlemoon Creekwalk.

Click here for a link to their 2016 blog posting about that marvelous late-winter event.  

The Creekwalk was begun several years ago by the Hedberg family, who inspired our interest in ice luminaries in the first place.  We brought ice lanterns to that display in 2015 and 2016 when they invited the community to join them in lighting up a small creek near Lake Harriet in Minneapolis, but the main "show" is the hundreds of luminaries that Jen and Tom place along and even in the creek.  It's magical!

While the rest of the city celebrates the early spring, some of us are hoping for one last blast of winter cold and snow, so that we can enjoy the Creekwalk enchantment again this year.  If 2017 brings another opportunity to make and light ice lanterns, that link will provide up-to-date information.

The Star Tribune published an article on Jen and Tom's ice lanterns and the Middlemoon Creekwalk -- click here to see their blog entry about it.  (We were mentioned as community members who contributed ice lanterns to the 2016 Creekwalk.)

hope of one more cold snap to let the
Middlemoon Creekwalk happen.
