ROYAL OAK, Mich. (CBS Detroit) -- Winter Blast returns this weekend and is hosted in downtown Royal Oak.

It features a skating rink, ice sculptures, live music, family activities and marshmallow roasters.

"We are overjoyed to be back and have the community come together and take advantage of the many activities that people of all ages can see and do at Winter Blast Royal Oak," Raul Venegas, executive director of Marketing, Entertainment & Sales said earlier this month.
