Watch incredible works of art come to life right before your eyes! The 2027 Two Block Ice Carving Competition, Professional Division, starts on January 31 at 9 AM.

Each artisan team will be given 5 suspenseful hours and two blocks of ice to bring their frozen masterpieces to life. The Two Block Ice Carving Competition is guided by a strict set of rules, requiring artists to utilize their best creative thinking and remain incredibly attentive to every detail. Judging immediately follows the completion of the contest.

Experience the artistry up close as frozen masterpieces come to life! Catch the live carving action and enjoy the completed sculptures at The Frozen Grounds at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds throughout Winter Carnival (weather permitting)!
