- The MN Ice Bar Series -
Embracing Winter One Ice Bar at a Time
The MN Ice Bar Series was born from a desire to turn Minnesota winters into a season of opportunity and joy for local businesses and their communities. Inspired by the resilience and creativity of the Twin Cities, this series aims to help establishments transform outdoor spaces into destinations where guests can gather and revel in the spirit of the season. It’s a story of supporting small businesses, embracing the cold, and creating ways to bring people together during the still months of winter.
