You never need an excuse to head to the mountains but if you’ve been putting off a trip, now is the time with a winter carnival this weekend.
The Canmore Winter Carnival returns to one of the most stunning places on earth and there is a lot of fun to be had.
It runs from today, February 24, to February 26.
Tonight is the Party in the Park at the Stan Rogers Memorial Stage in Centennial Park. There will be concerts and performances for the whole family along with some fun activities and, of course, hot chocolate for you to enjoy by the fire pits to keep you warm.
