As part of this celebration, 10 ice and snow carvers have come from Heilongjiang to work alongside the festival's artists to create spectacular ice and snow masterpieces at both locations.
The Alberta Legislature grounds will feature ice and snow carvings, performances including music, theatre, art in the Alberta House Entertainment Tent, family skating and much more.
