Ice transforms into art at Driggs Snowscapes
A week of ice and snow art, family activities, and wintry street scenes just over Teton Pass—an easy day trip from Jackson Hole.
Event details
Driggs Snowscapes turns the small town plaza at 60 South Main Street in Driggs, Idaho into an open air gallery of monumental frozen sculptures each January.
Now designated as the official Idaho Snow Sculpting State Championship, this 14th annual event runs January 19 to 24, 2026. It features 10 teams carving 8 by 8 by 8 foot snow blocks into three dimensional masterpieces, along with six Quick Sculpt competitors working on smaller forms.
Sculpting takes place Monday through Friday, culminating in The Final Frost celebration on Saturday from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM. The finale includes live music from local band The Rock Skis, food trucks such as Captain Ron’s Smokehouse and Art Taco, and craft beverages from Citizen 33 Brewery and Grand Teton Distillery. People’s Choice and Kids’ Choice voting helps draw more than 2,000 visitors.
Admission is free throughout the week, with a suggested $5 donation. After dark, the sculptures are illuminated, creating an ethereal atmosphere that invites visitors into a frozen gallery under the sky.
The event is organized by the Downtown Driggs Association, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit led by Executive Director Lisa Simmons, with sponsorship from Grand Targhee Resort and Teton Valley Healthcare. Sculptures typically remain viewable through the following weekend before melting begins.
Street parking along Main Street and nearby off street lots provide easy access to the walkable downtown. The City of Driggs has invested $20,000 in an industrial snowmaking machine to ensure the event’s sustainability regardless of weather.
