Winter
International Snow Sculpture Championships
January 23 to February 2, 2027.
The snow sculptures are carved right at the Riverwalk Center. Sculpting runs January 23 to 27, with viewing until February 2. Free, and lit up at night. There's no parking at the site, so take the bus.
Our tip: Go after dark, when the sculptures are lit.
Music
Concerts all year
From orchestras to rock bands.
The National Repertory Orchestra has been based here since the building opened, and the center hosts touring musicians, bands, film festivals and community events.
History
From tent to concert hall
Opened in 1993.
It opened in 1993 on the site of an earlier tent used for a summer chamber music festival, with seats for 750. A tent roof went up every spring and came down every fall until a permanent roof and walls were added for the 2008 season.
