One of the Netherlands’ most spectacular winter events comes to Amsterdam this year: the Dutch Ice Sculpture Festival. Watch as the world’s leading ice artists transform the Arena Park in Amsterdam Zuidoost into a bewitching world of snow and ice from 10 December 2016 to 5 February 2017.
The annual Dutch Ice Sculpture Festival takes place in Amsterdam for the first time in 2016, with this year’s theme being ‘Music Inspires’. Forty-two leading international ice artists will transform 550,000 kilograms of ice and snow into a breathtaking frozen landscape with a subzero temperature of -10°C, creating magical worlds and spectacular music-themed sculptures up to six-metres high. Expect to see everyone from Mozart to Prince represented in ice, along with giant musical instruments.
Alongside the ice-sculpture festival, guests can also enjoy a pop-up music museum in the Event Plaza at Arena Boulevard, with winter beverages, food, fairground attractions and family activities.
