Holmenkollen Ski Festival
Celebrating its 36th year in 2020, this festival is presently viewed as one of the world's top winter celebrations, joining the ranks of the Sapporo Snow Festival in Japan, Canada's Quebec Winter Carnival and Norway's Holmenkollen Ski Festival. In 2020 the sculptures were produced using roughly 220,000 cubic meters of ice blocks, all pulled from the nearby Songhua River.
