"Through Ice and Snow, to Space We Go" is the theme for Michigan Technological University's 2026 Winter Carnival, rocketing the campus, community and visitors into a galaxy of winter games and festivities. Winter Carnival begins with the All-Nighter on Wednesday, Feb. 4, and continues through Saturday, Feb. 7. The thematic homage to aerospace achievements and the Husky tendency to lead exploration of new frontiers promises to transform Michigan Tech's wintry campus in Houghton into an astronautical array of huge and intricate snow statues. Other highlights include a new Wednesday night drone show and a crowd favorite, fireworks over Tech's Mont Ripley Ski Area on Saturday night.
