Winter Olympics gold medallist Steven Bradbury will open the Winterlight festival in Sydney's Parramatta, an event that is expected to draw thousands of visitors.
A giant ice rink will be the centrepiece of the festivities, which run from June 27 to July 13.
Visitors to the "alpine village" will be able to have their photo taken inside a life-size snow globe and try comforting winter food and drinks, from gourmet German sausages and Turkish gozleme, to hot chocolate and mulled wine.
Bradbury, who won gold at the 2002 Salt Lake Winter Olympics, will be joined by his colleagues - 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics competitors Danielle O'Brien and Greg Merriman and 2002 Salt Lake Winter Olympics figure skater Stephanie Zhang.
