About this event
The festival is held at two sites: Odori Park (Nishi 1-chome to 11-chome) for the large snow sculptures, and Susukino (Ekimae-dori, Minami 4-jo to 6-jo) for ice sculptures. The organiser lists the 2027 edition from 4 to 11 February 2027, with Odori lighting until 22:00. The Tsudome site has not operated since 2020 and is not part of the current festival, despite older guides still listing it.
