Come enjoy a unique four-day festival where wood literally comes to life!
On Thursday and Friday, watch the creation of large wooden sculptures—seven professional woodcarvers will be creating right before your eyes.
Over the weekend, the sculptures will be completed, and you can also look forward to a dynamic speedcarving show—a breathtaking spectacle full of speed, precision, and artistic talent. In just 55 minutes, the woodcarvers will create a beautiful wooden sculpture right before the audience’s eyes using chainsaws.
At the end, you can bid on the finished sculptures and take home an original piece.
There will also be a children’s program and plenty of refreshments, including fish specialties.
