2026 International Snow Sculpture Championships

About This Event

The International Snow Sculpture Championships in Breckenridge, Colorado, is a multi-day winter event where teams of artists from around the world carve enormous blocks of snow into intricate, large-scale sculptures. Held in the heart of Breckenridge, the event typically includes several phases: block stomping (packing large blocks of snow), sculpting days when teams work with hand tools only to create their designs, and a viewing period when finished sculptures are lit at night and open to the public for free viewing. Visitors can walk among the sculptures, take photos, and experience one of Breckenridge’s signature winter events. The event usually features: - International and U.S. snow sculpting teams - A set number of sculpting days (often 4–5 days) - Finished-sculpture viewing days, including evening/nighttime viewing with dramatic lighting - Outdoor, family-friendly atmosphere - Proximity to Breckenridge’s historic downtown, shops, restaurants, and lodging This event page is linked from the main GoBreck (Breckenridge Tourism Office) site and serves as Breckenridge’s official visitor information for the International Snow Sculpture Championships.
