Across Europe, more and more organisers are discovering that winter has its own kind of magic. The glow of lights against the cold, hands wrapped around hot drinks, music drifting through crisp air – it’s a whole new atmosphere, waiting to be claimed.
Cities are searching for ways to keep people outside, connected and inspired year-round. Brands are looking for fresh, off-season moments to activate. And people? They still want to gather, they just need someone to give them a reason. That’s where winter festivals come in: the same buzz, the same creativity, but in a whole new season.
More and more organisers are finding that winter has its own rhythm, slower, brighter, more intimate, yet every bit as full of energy. And at the heart of many of these festivals lies the ice experience – a place where people connect, move, play and celebrate together. It’s the perfect centrepiece: dynamic, visual and full of emotion. It’s not about replacing summer; it’s about expanding what festivals can be.
In our blog Winter Festivals: New Opportunities for Event Organizers, we explore how cities are transforming squares and parks into winter playgrounds, creating unforgettable experiences where there used to be empty spaces.
