The 27th annual celebration is scheduled for January 23 through 25, 2009. The Plymouth Ice Spectacular still reigns as the oldest and largest Ice Carving Festival of its kind.
The 27th annual event will feature over 100 statues carved from a single block of ice; numerous multiple block sculptures utilizing from 5 to 100 blocks; dozens of high school, community college, university, and professional ice carvers crafting dazzling statues from 330-pound blocks of ice and a series of special homecoming events.
Carvers from Japan as well as United States Champion Carvers will all be dazzling guests with their unique works of art.
Unlike other winter events, the visitors to Plymouth Community International Ice Sculpture Spectacular watch a carving from the very beginnings of stacking the ice blocks through the carving process to the finished work of ice art. The majority of the carving and the student competitions take place during the daylight hours for the pleasure and enjoyment of the audience.
