The New Year is here and what better way to celebrate than by heading to beautiful Lake Louise to enjoy the Ice Magic Festival from January 19-30. This fantastic Lake Louise festival attracts visitors from all over and continues to delight audiences of all ages with icy masterpieces! This year, the event will feature 8 Canadian teams participating in a 34-hour Team Carving Competition, and a One-Hour, One-Carver Speed Competition. Admission to Ice Magic is free, except between 10 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. on both Saturdays and Sundays, when tickets are required.
