Winter Carnival

Still rocking our winters … for our 51st year!

Every year in the dead of winter since 1973, Sandpoint’s snowbound locals cook up a sure antidote to cabin fever. It’s the Sandpoint Winter Carnival, pure fun celebrating the best of the snowy season. The carnival spans two weekends with a host of fun happenings indoors and out, on Schweitzer Mountain and in town. Coming up February 17-24, 2024, events will include the Parade of Lights, music concerts, the Let it Glow Parade and Fireworks at Schweitzer, the fabulously furry fun of the K9 Keg Pull and more.

See all the details at the event website SandpointWinterCarnival.com.
