Ice sculptures on the theme "The Power of Illusion" will be on display on Pasta Island for a fee starting Tuesday, February 10, for as long as weather conditions permit. Residents should note that part of Pasta Island around the Mītava open-air concert hall will still be accessible only for an entrance fee.

On Monday, technical work will be carried out on the festival grounds on Pasta Island, which will be closed to visitors.

However, from February 10, the sculptures will be on display every day from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Admission for adults is five euros, for schoolchildren, students, pensioners, and people with disabilities – three euros, but admission is free for children under seven years of age. Tickets can be purchased at the entrance.

This year, 20 sculptors from 12 countries – Argentina, Indonesia, Poland, Mongolia, the Netherlands, Ukraine, Spain, Finland, Germany, Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia – created ice sculptures on the theme of "The Power of Illusion." The artists invite viewers to look into a world of illusions, where the boundary between reality and appearance becomes fragile and changeable. The sculptors' works reveal both modern man's relationship with technology and the illusions created by nature, light and form, as well as the diversity of beauty, happiness and inner world perception.
