New Delhi [India], December 30: This holiday season in Moscow is a perfect time to visit an anniversary Ice Moscow. Within the Family festival which will celebrate its 10th birthday from December 29, 2024 to January 12, 2025. Once again, the festival will take place in one of the most iconic locations in Moscow - the Victory Park on Poklonnaya Hill.
The organizers are Within the Family Nationwide Program, supported by Moscow Department of Culture and Rostec State Corporation.
This year the theme of the festival is Engineers of Russia: images of the most popular engineering and blue-collar jobs will be created from ice in an unusually allegorical, creative and unexpected way. Among the ice sculptures - original images of a production engineer, a design engineer, a mechanic, a planner, a welder, an electrician, and many others. There are many heroes in our country that we can be proud of, who move progress forward and improve our lives. The festival will be dedicated to them.
"Today, Rostec creates innovations, technologies and products, that change the quality of life for many people. This is a result, achieved by collective work of thousands of Russian designers and engineers. Their ideas, dedication and devotion to their cause help our country fight for technological leadership. In addition, engineering specialties once again top the list of the most prestigious professions. These are pursued by bright, talented and courageous young people who want to devote themselves to an important cause and a great goal," - Rostec said.
"This event has brought much happiness, the feeling of New Year's miracles and the atmosphere of true yuletide festivities to the people of Moscow and the guests of the capital in the last 10 years. We're so happy to return to our original, all beloved location - the Victory Park on Poklonnaya Hill. For the first time the festival will feature a show on a big stage about love and miracle. Beautiful music was composed specifically for it. More so, we hope to surprise our guests with the ice sculptures dedicated to engineering and blue-collar jobs, which will be presented in the most unexpected way. Which way is that? Visit us and you shall see!" - says Aleksandr Kovtunets, the President of Within the Family Nationwide Program and the author of Ice Moscow festival.
The open-air exposition will also dive into several indoor pavilions - ice and sand. The ice pavilion will make sure our most detail-oriented sculptures withstand any weather. The sand pavilion will warm up our guests while they enjoy the sculptures.
And, of course, we are making a whole range of interactive sculptures for your amazing photos. Among them is the absolute hit of the festival - the ice throne! The interactive sculptures for children will include a fabulous labyrinth; an airplane with an ice slide, where our youngest guests can turn into pilots; and the metro train, where they can imagine themselves as engine drivers.
The New Year's show will entertain the festival guests three times a day at 15:00, 17:00 and 19:00. Not only will it envelop the professional activities of engineers, domestic achievements in technology and science, talented specialists, but also talk about the most important, eternal thing, called love. New technologies, circus tricks, aerial gymnastics and dances, interesting animation on a big screen - visitors will see all this in the exclusive New Year's show "Engineers of Russia".

The festival's calling card is a magnificent Ice Kremlin in the center of the square. A cascade of 6 ice slides up to four meters high and 30 meters long descend from it. Ice skating is one of the most favorite pastimes for visitors of all ages.
