FESTIVAL HISTORY - ICE ON WHYTE

In 2003 the Ice on Whyte festival officially began because a few creative individuals wanted to showcase ice carving. This event has grown into Edmonton’s premier winter festival. Ice on Whyte now features an international ice carving competition that is sanctioned by the National Ice Carving Association and 11 days of interactive outdoor winter activities. Visitors enjoy beautiful ice sculptures, an ice castle, a giant ice slide, a children's play area, live musical entertainment, and ice carving workshops for school groups and families.

Ice on Whyte is presented by the Old Strathcona Business Association, and has successfully grown through the continued support of many community minded businesses and organizations, and the dedication of volunteers and artists.

Join us January 13 - 23, 2011 and explore a world of ice sculptures and everything else the festival has to offer.
