Sapporo Snow Festival - plan your visit 2027: Dates, Venue & Visitor Guide
さっぽろ雪まつり
Sapporo Snow Festival transforms the city’s winter landscape into a series of snow and ice displays. Large sculptures anchor Odori Park, Susukino offers an ice-focused setting, and Tsudome provides a different, activity-led experience. The separate venues let visitors shape a visit around sculpture, evening atmosphere or snow play.
Keep this event with your plans.
What to know before you go.
The festival grew from a local snow-sculpture event into a citywide winter gathering. Its sites remain separate destinations, so allow for transfers instead of expecting one continuous exhibition. Daylight reveals sculpted forms while evening lighting changes their appearance. Use the current venue programme to choose your stops, since individual attractions and operating periods vary.
Event dates, access and crowd controls can change. Verify with the organizer before committing non-refundable travel.
