Snowking Winter Festival

The Snowcastle becomes a month-long celebration of community spirit, collaboration, innovation in the arts, entertainment for young and old and where the spirit of winter wonderment from all the collective childhood reigns supreme.

A winter wonderland is created on Yellowknife Bay where the Snowking and his talented, hardy northern helpers brave -30 over the course of 2 months to build a huge castle made entirely of snow and ice. 

On any given day, the Snowcastle might host a children's play, followed by an art exhibit or a rock band, a film festival and finish the night off by transforming into a dance club.
