Every year, our goal for the entire festival is to create an event that is accessible to the public, with activities for all ages,” says the Snowking. “This is one of our favourite features of the festival, as it brings the creativity that goes into snow carving right into the public sphere. Being outside the castle grounds, it adds an impressive creative element to the festival that is available for free to the public 24/7. A spectacle under the Northern Lights! We hope that people will choose to support this event.
