Nelson and Kootenay Lake Tourism present the 3rd Annual Winter Kickoff Carnival & Events
Don’t run away from winter—run towards epic events that celebrate Canada’s snowy season.
In the Kootenays, explorers welcome winter with the third annual Winter Kickoff Carnival & Events. Several communities, from Kaslo to Nelson, will feature holiday activities from November 21st to December 7th.
Families shouldn’t miss the one-night Magical Carnival in Nelson’s Railtown. Little explorers can meet Santa in person. Roaming performers, musicians, local bites and craft beer will entertain the adults.
Other winter-themed activities include the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour, a ski season launch and backcountry ski/snowboard films that will get you stoked for cold-weather adventures. Look for events in Nelson, Kaslo, Ainsworth Hot Springs and Balfour.
