About Sand on Whyte
The very first Sand on Whyte sand carving exhibit was held in Old Strathcona in 2013. Many of the ice carving artists who come to the Ice on Whyte Festival also travel the world and carve sand in the summer. Sand on Whyte is very pleased to welcome this year’s artists and we can’t wait to see their amazing work again in 2016!

Sand on Whyte is produced by the Ice on Whyte Festival Society.
