SOUTH BEND, Ind. – The community on Friday was invited to enjoy an evening of winter festivities in downtown South Bend. The event provided live music, hot cocoa, ice skating and cozying up at a fireplace!

Although there was hardly any snow on the ground, those who attended still had fun with fake snow ball fights and snowman building.

The event gives people a chance to enjoy all the good things about winter.

An event is held in downtown South Bend on the first Friday of every month.
