Add a subtitle
The tradition of the ice sculpting competitions began with the early celebrations of spring involving Ice Thrones for the Winter Carnivals of the 1930s whilst providing an outdoor activity for local Alaskans to enjoy. In 1990 a committee formed and decided to make it a permanent event on the calendar, to promote and exhibit the wonderful art of ice sculpting. Collectively over the past years, the World Ice Art Championships has attracted over 100’s of professional Ice Artists, from over 45 different countries and even more local artists from the different states throughout the US . The result is over 100 competition sculptures and exhibition pieces and the ever-expanding playful ice attractions in the Kids Park.

“From small things, big things may grow” – and now the Ice Alaska Winter Carnival has evolved into a 6 week event full of amazing art pieces and wonderful winter fun.
