Imagine a world where the cold warms your heart. Where you walk through gigantic sculptures of ice and snow, each carved to the finest detail by the world's best artists. A place where imagination, creativity and wonder come together in a magical winter experience.

That place exists. From December 13, 2025 to March 8, 2026, the Dutch Ice Sculpture Festival will once again open its doors in Biddinghuizen. 45 top international artists will transform over 300,000 kilos of ice and 275,000 kilos of snow into a breathtaking world that you can only experience one winter.

Our new theme is still a surprise, but we promise: this will be one of the most spectacular editions ever. Perfect as a Christmas vacation getaway, family outing or winter day full of art and culture.
