For 20 years now, Poznań has transformed into the world's December capital of ice carving. From a small local initiative, the festival has grown into one of Poland's most important winter events, attracting artists from the farthest corners of the globe.
Over the past two decades, thousands of icy masterpieces have taken shape right before your eyes-from dynamic sculptures crafted against the clock in the Speed Ice Carving competition to monumental creations in the main contest. Top sculptors have put their skills to the test here, while the children's workshop area has introduced entire new generations to the art of ice carving.
This year's anniversary is a special opportunity to look back, revisit our favorite memories, and celebrate together. We are putting together an event packed with surprises and even more ice magic on Poznań's Old Market Square.
Thank you for being with us for 20 years-without your energy and warm support, this icy world wouldn't shine half as bright! See you in December!
