Snow Sculpting Contest
Show off your snow creativity at Regional Park and join us for a day of snowman making and sculpture building. Get ready to witness the enchanting transformation of snow into magnificent works of art at our Snow Sculpting Contest! Sculptors from far and wide will converge to showcase their creativity in two distinct categories. In the Artistic Category, marvel at intricate designs and imaginative sculptures that push the boundaries of snow artistry. Meanwhile, in the Family Fun Category, witness the magic of family teams turning snow into whimsical creations, blending joy and creativity. It's a day of frozen masterpieces and family bonding, where the cold canvas of snow becomes a playground for artistic expression and winter fun. Join us for a snowy spectacle that will leave you awe-inspired and smiling. Judges will be on site to pick the favorites from the day. Awards announced at 4:00 pm.

No Registration Necessary. Show up with your team, and start building with snow! Judges will decide on winners based on these two categories.
