"The Iceberg Trail" by LeMonde Studio
January 7th – February 16th, 2026 | Operating 8am – 11pm daily | Location: Market Plaza
Step into winter whimsy with The Iceberg Trail by LeMonde Studio in downtown’s Market Plaza!
Each of the six interactive icebergs is equipped with state-of-the-art, human-powered mechanisms that activate unique light displays and play custom music. Just crank the handles found on each slab of icy art and watch as your energy brings light and music to the plaza.
What makes this experience truly special? Each iceberg stores the power you generate, offering up to 12 minutes of glowing lights and sound after just 20 seconds of interaction.
