snow festival
A winter event featuring snow sculptures, illuminations, and activities. Often refers to the Sapporo Snow Festival (さっぽろ雪まつり) but can be used for any similar festival.
I plan to go to the Sapporo Snow Festival next month.
A snow festival is held in this town every year.
Most common spelling, using kana for まつり to keep the word visually light and modern.
Kanji spelling for 祭り; slightly more formal or traditional feel.
Abbreviated kanji form, mainly seen in proper names like さっぽろ雪祭.
Compound of 雪 (yuki, 'snow') and 祭り (matsuri, 'festival'). A straightforward modern coinage.
