Photos: Ice Castles opening night 2020

The Dillon Ice Castles will opened Saturday, Dec. 19, at the Dillon Town Park — a week earlier than it was originally anticipated.

Officials said favorable weather conditions set the table for an early unveiling and visitors were able to explore the attraction, which opened at 30% of its normal capacity in order to meet public health guidelines and promote physical distancing among guests.
