Ice On Whyte hosts an International Ice Carving Competition, which is one of only three ice carving competitions in Canada. Be inspired and amazed as up to 10 teams of professional artists work to create jaw-dropping icy splendors. This year the competition will be held in a tent to control the temperature and protect the sculptures from the outside environment.
