Sweet Pea Festival Ice Sculpture Carving: THIS SATURDAY

Join us! It's the 5th Annual Sweet Pea Festival Ice Sculpture Carving Contest will be held THIS SATURDAY at Soroptimist Park in downtown Bozeman. It's super fun to watch so bundle up and come on down.

Please note that Soroptimist Park (at the corner of Main and Rouse) is not a very large park and social distancing will be enforced. There may be times when the park is 'full' but the GOOD NEWS is that the sculptures will be on display until they melt. You'll have lots of time to see the works of art in ice.

There will be a demo for beginner carvers on Friday, January 29th from 1pm to 4pm, BTW. Come see how it's done and learn some easy tricks to carve ice.

You may notice some beautiful lamp banners in downtown promoting the Ice Sculpture Contest. Those banners were designed by Mary Peters. She won $1,000 cash for her winning entry.
