On Monday, technical preparation works will be carried out in the festival area on Pasta Island; therefore, the island will be closed to visitors.

Entrance fee:

  • Adults – EUR 5.00

This year, 20 sculptors from 12 countries – Argentina, Indonesia, Poland, Mongolia, the Netherlands, Ukraine, Spain, Finland, Germany, Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia – created ice sculptures on the theme “The Power of Illusion”. The artists invite viewers to step into a world of illusions, where the boundary between reality and appearance becomes fragile and ever-changing. The works reveal modern human relationships with technology, as well as illusions created by nature, light, and form, and the diversity of perceptions of beauty, happiness, and the inner world.
