Khuvsgul /MONTSAME/ The Blue Pearl annual ice festival that aims to promote winter tourism in Khuvsgul aimag is to be organized for the 20th year from March 2 to 4.

The festival organizing committee led by the aimag’s deputy governor Ts.Battogtokh has recently convened to plan the festival. At the meeting, relevant officials were tasked with going into action as early as possible as this year’s festival is scheduled close to the Lunar New Year of Mongolia. Also, after exchanging views on having the local law enforcement body focus on the participants’ safety as well as arrangement of the ice town to be built for the festival, the committee members agreed to announce the festival program next week.


For now, it is decided that this year’s Blue Pearl will feature ice knuckle-bone shooting contest, bicycle and ice skate races, motosports performance, sled dog race, tug of war, relay race, family contest, horse race, performance by the aimag’s musical drama theater, and some ritualistic activities.
