Lake Louise, located in Banff National Park, Canada, holds a three day event called Ice Magic every winter. It is an ice sculpting and winter festival which takes place in the 3rd weekend of January beneath Mount Victoria.
In the shadow of the mountain, during freezing conditions, teams of carvers are given 15 huge blocks of ice which must be transformed into magnificent ice sculptures in three days. Professional carvers are invited from around the world to compete in this event.
Crowds of people come to see the sculptures being made. There is live music and hot snacks to keep everyone entertained. The atmosphere is family-friendly and the exciting builds up as the competition heats up on the final day.
I would highly recommend people pay a visit to Ice Magic. It is a fun festival for all the family. If you can’t make it in January, the sculptures are usually on display until late March, weather permitting, of course.
