From what I hear, the Sapporo Snow Festival all started mid-1900s when a bunch of college students started sculpting figures in the snow. It got so popular that it became commercialized to what it is today. Now, some of the spectacular snow sculptures were funded and built by corporations such as Disney. It turns out that most of them are so big, that they double as a stage. I missed out on the Disney show because it was too darn cold and snowy.
