World of Winter ~ January 12 - March 10, 2024

It started out with flooding, and the weather was a mixed bag (it's winter in Michigan, after all) but it was a fun two months and brought a lot of people downtown, day and night.

The initial flooding put a damper on the frogs and stargate but the water receded and the frogs inflated.

This was beautiful set alongside the river.

Mastodons stood on the Blue Bridge.

Touching the poles generated music.

This also generated sound but was closed much of the time due to construction at DeVos Convention Center.

Four Directions was apparently vandalized and had a speaker stolen but it seemed fine when I walked around it and heard its music.

I never did get to see this one inflated.

These were particularly striking at night.

It's been a while since I've been on a swing 😊

Day or night, World of Winter was a great experience.

Until next year then.
