The event is taking place from 5 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on weekdays, and 10 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.
Ice On Whyte is participating in the Restrictions Exemption Program (REP) and requires visitors 12 and older to show proof of vaccination.
Masks are encouraged on site, and required in the Chippers tent.
This year there will not be an ice bar or alcohol served on site.
The event is operating at a reduced capacity, organizers say they're calling Ice On Whyte an event instead of a festival this year to reflect that.
Tickets are available online or at the gate.
