From public events to indoor activations, winter festivals are booming. They bring light, energy, and connection during the darkest time of year, and offer a powerful way to use venues and spaces that often sit empty from November through January. And the best part? You don’t need months of setup or permanent infrastructure. With the right partner, you can create a scalable, recurring winter experience, quickly, efficiently, and tailored to your audience.

Temporary ice rinks have become a centrepiece for modern winter festivals. They don’t just attract crowds, they create moments. Here’s why more and more event professionals are building their winter concepts around mobile ice solutions:

1. Fast setup & takedown – perfect for busy venues

Convention centers, exhibition halls and arenas are often in high demand. Around the holidays, they may only be available for a short window. With rapid installation and dismantling, temporary ice rinks allow you to deliver a full winter experience, even in tight timelines.

2. Create a Winter Experience for Everyone

We offer more than just ice rinks – from a dedicated kids’ rink and curling lanes to fun attractions like ice bikes and an ice slide. This way, you can create a winter experience that appeals to a wide range of visitors.

3. Global experience across all event types

With over 30 years of worldwide experience, we’ve delivered ice experiences for everything from local temporary ice rinks and large city events to indoor ice shows and sports competitions. We understand the unique pressures of the events world and how to make winter work.

Case: The Amsterdam Winter Paradise

One great example of what’s possible? The Amsterdam Winter Paradise, a big indoor and outdoor winter festival held annually in the RAI Amsterdam, a multifunctional exhibition and conference centrevenue.

Each December, the RAI is transformed into a full-scale winter wonderland. With thousands of square meters of ice, snow zones, performances and food markets, the event draws tens of thousands of visitors. Despite the tight venue schedule, it runs like clockwork — thanks to efficient setup, detailed planning, and the right production partners.

Curious how this works in specific markets?

In Nordic countries, many large indoor venues sit unused during the coldest months of the year. Meanwhile, experienced festival organizers wait for summer to return. What if that gap could be closed?

With fast, flexible rink setups and full-concept support, empty locations become vibrant winter traditions. All it takes is a shift in perspective, and the right partner.
