Please note that  due to extreme cold weather the 5th annual Governors Island Ice Sculpture Show has been rescheduled to Sunday, March 8, 2026 at 12pm.

Gov­er­nors Island Arts presents the fifth annu­al Gov­er­nors Island Ice Sculp­ture Show, where ten artists/artist teams—many who have never carved ice before—will use chainsaws to bring their creations to life live on stage.

Each artist/artist team will be paired with professional ice carvers from our carving partner Okamo­to Stu­dio

This thrilling live outdoor event will also feature food trucks, a DJ set from Miss Ali­cia with sound by Kar­lala Soundsys­tem, carving demos and workshops with Okamoto Studio, and more.
