Billed as the only ice dragon boat festival in Western Canada, this Family Day weekend event features dragon boat racing on the frozen lake plus family activities like firepits, a DJ club house, ice carving, lion & dragon dances, an outdoor movie, and a fireworks show. Free to watch.
Good to know
For 2026 the competitive ice-racing portion was cancelled Feb 5, 2026 due to safety, but family activities on Festival Street continued Feb 14-15. Includes the Polar Bear Dip in some years.
