ICE ON WHYTE 2010
The Ice on Whyte Festival returns to Festival Park in Old Strathcona from January 14 - 24, 2010. The park is open to the public from 2 pm to 10 pm on weekdays and from 10 am to 10 pm on weekends. Admission to the park is $2 per person.
The festival begins with an ice carving competition with up to 10 teams of international artists who create giant ice masterpieces from frozen water. The competition runs from January 14 – 16.
This year’s festival is filled with plenty of outdoor fun for visitors of all ages. The festival site includes an Ice Castle, a giant Ice Slide, an interactive play area for children, live musical entertainment and a heated tent, the Van Houtte Cafe, where visitors can enjoy a cup coffee or hot chocolate by making a donation to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.
An educational program, L’il Chippers, teaches ice carving to school groups and is presented Monday to Friday between 10 am and 2 pm. School groups must pre-register to attend.
