The Thaw'sfinal weekend lit up Market Square on Friday night with an icy effigy burn by Zambelli Fireworks, symbolizing spring's arrival.
Why it matters: The soggy snowman marked the last hurrah before Market Square undergoes a major face-lift starting April 1. The yearlong revamp will bring upgraded walkways, better lighting, more seating and a new pavilion.
What's next: Market Square is set to reopen in April 2026, just in time to welcome the NFL Draft crowd.
