8. February, 2020.
The second day of the 22nd International Ice Sculpture Festival has passed in Jelgava with fun play shows, sculpture demonstrations and a wide cultural program. Despite the weather, the children's laughter filled the Post Island from the very morning. Never stop enjoying the interactive ice photo objects and sculptures depicting famous superheroes from Hollywood movies, fairy-tale books and everyday life.
This year, the morning program of the second and third days of the festival is especially dedicated to the smallest guests of the festival. For the first time, the new open-air concert hall "Mītava" under the roof is used for the event, where, regardless of the weather, children went on fun games and got to know various fairy-tale characters in nine frozen ice objects.
This year Jelgav residents and city guests especially enjoyed various interactive ice photo sculptures created by one of Latvia's best sculptors, Kārlis Īle and his team. Dispelling doubts whether there will be ice in Jelgava all day long, artists Ainars Zingniks and Agnese Rudzīte - Kirillova created new ice artworks to supplement the already existing range of sculptures.
In the evening program on the central stage of the festival, on Jānis Čakste boulevard, duels of sculpture-making demonstrations together with Sanita Rāviņa and Agnes Rudzīti – Kirillova. As well as a wide concert program with Latvian favorite musicians - Franco Franco, X Factor 2019 stars and Opus Pro. Festive fireworks at the end of the evening.
