A Magical Celebration in the Heart of Winter

Held each February, the Sapporo Snow Festival transforms the city into a dazzling winter wonderland. Towering snow and ice sculptures—ranging from towering masterpieces to intricate miniature creations—line the streets of Odori Park and beyond, drawing visitors from around the world.

From illuminated displays that come alive at night to interactive snow-themed attractions and local food stalls, the festival offers an unforgettable experience that blends artistic talent with festive energy. Despite the cold, the joyful atmosphere and community spirit create a sense of warmth that defines this iconic Hokkaido event.
