Abashiri Okhotsk Drift Ice Festival
February 7, 2026 - February 8, 2026
Abashiri's winter festival is held every February. There are many spectacular snow sculptures, beautiful ice sculptures, and events!
The 61st Abashiri Okhotsk Drift Ice Festival will be held at the Abashiri Commercial Port Wharf on Saturday, February 7th and Sunday, February 8th, 2026. Focusing on the drift ice, which is losing strength year by year due to the effects of global warming, the festival will be held under the theme of "SAVE THE ICE SAVE THE EARTH," as was the case last year.
We are planning an event to spread the word about the current state and appeal of drift ice, as well as what each individual can do to protect it, and to use this festival as an opportunity to make people love drift ice even more!
