Events Description

 

The enchantment of Deep Freeze Festival is set to transform the winter landscape on January 20 and 21, 2024! Embrace the magic as we delve into this year’s theme, “Under the Toad Stools,” a joyous celebration of foraging and a nostalgic return to our Alberta roots.

Immerse yourself in the vibrant cultures that make up the fabric of Alberta Avenue District, including Ukrainian, French Canadian, Franco African, Indigenous (Métis, Inuit, Cree), Latin American, and Asian influences. Wander through our event to discover artistic creations, a homestead village, and musical celebrations that will delight your senses with music, art, and delectable treats.

Experience Pipon Village by donning a pair of snowshoes, gather ’round an open fire for bannock, tea, and cultural teachings, and join in the festivities celebrating the Olde New Year. Marvel at the brilliance of light installations, the mastery of ice sculptures, and engage in street hockey matches. Don’t miss the thrilling Deep Freezer races and other captivating winter artistic expressions.

Join us for a weekend filled with joy, discovery, and celebration as we usher in the year with the warmth of community, art, and winter magic at Deep Freeze: A Byzantine Winter Festival!
