The Yards Park, located next to Nationals Park, hosts an annual wintertime festival called Ice Yards. This year's second annual event drew some 2,000 guests on January 30. Instead of working to shut out the chilly weather, event organizers embraced it, incorporating it into the event's theme. Produced by BrandLink Communications, the gathering featured branded ice sculptures, frozen games, and more chilly forms of entertainment. Here's a look inside the frosty event.
The event's hashtag also appeared in ice.
