Festival Background The Blue Pearl Ice Festival takes place each winter on the frozen surface of Lake Khuvsgul, often called the 'Blue Pearl of Mongolia.' Celebrated between late February and early March, this remote festival showcases Mongolian winter culture through ice sculpting, horse‑sled races, traditional games, shamanic rituals, and cultural performances set against one of the world’s clearest frozen lakes.
