The sixteen ice sculptures throughout downtown Salem are a great reason to brave the cold. From a towering ice castle to a prowling tiger there are many beautiful and interesting sculptures. They will be downtown as long as the weather permits.

You can also do you Valentine Shopping and make your dinner reservations while you are downtown Salem.
