Jerusalem will host its first International Ice Festival
March 6th- April 30th 2012 (extended till May 31st) in the Old Train Station Compound.
Come and see famous Jerusalem historical sites carved out of ice and enjoy ice activities.
You may be wondering what will happen if we experience a heat wave in Jerusalem? Don't worry because the Ice Festival tent will be cooled to -10 degrees Celsius in order to ensure that the ice activities remain frozen. The sculptures are being created by over 20 Chinese artists flown in specially for the festival and this is a "must see" event. If you live outside of Jerusalem it is worth the drive!
