Syracuse, N.Y. — Ice Masters is returning to the New York State Fairgrounds this week.
The Wegmans Ice Masters Holiday Drive Through Display, presented by The Ice Farm, will feature more than 80 individual hand-carved ice sculptures by world-renowned sculptors from Wednesday, Dec. 29, through Sunday, Jan. 2. Time slots are available every 30 minutes between 5 p.m. and 10 p.m.
The magical drive-thru experience combines light up displays, carved from more than 150,000 pounds of clear ice blocks, with holiday tunes to sing along as people drive around and celebrate the season. Cameras are welcome.
Tickets for this year’s Ice Masters are on sale at https://maingatetickets.com/events/view/1171. Prices are $25 per car, plus fees.
The event is being presented by Stan Kolonko of East Syracuse’s The Ice Farm, a frequent exhibitor at the Great New York State Fair and other events. Last year’s “Ice Sculpting Masters” drew about 1,200 cars on opening night for safe, socially distanced entertainment.
Due to Covid-19, this is a drive-thru experience only. Guests should remain in their cars at all times and plan accordingly, as local restrictions limit public restrooms.
