The largest ice sculpture festival in the Baltics will take place in Jelgava this year, inviting visitors to discover the splendor of carnival celebrations around the world!

On 6 February, the stage at the outdoor concert venue Mītava will feature the cheerful and energetic Mākoņstūmēji, the legendary Latvian music supergroup loved by several generations, Jumprava, as well as the cheeky, witty and always unpredictable Latvian hip-hop hooligans, Singapūras Satīns!

A free festival hospitality area with a market, photo sculptures and circus performances will operate on Jānis Čakste Boulevard. Spectacular fire shows will delight visitors both on Pasta Island and on Jānis Čakste Boulevard.
