For about more than half of a century, the city of Sapporo, Japan, hosts the biggest winter event in Japan for the duration of seven days during February;
The Sapporo Snow Festival. People from all around the world meet up in Sapporo to participate in the festival which targets more than 2 million visitors each year. The participants become ecstatic to demonstrate their creativity throughout various sculptures and statues made from snow!
Some of us used to construct a snowman in childhood, for fun maybe? On the other hand those artists (even if they really weren’t professional artists) are putting a vast effort in building some illustrious monuments, statues, and sculptures that might melt down in a week or so. Inspired by 6 high-school students in 1950, the Sapporo Snow Festival welcomes its 58th edition today, which will end Feb.12. Don’t miss it if your there!
