Kenora friends and neighbours,

I’m reaching out with some tough news to share. After much consideration, I have made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s Family Day Weekend Winterfest on Sunday February 15.

As the lead organizer, I’ve decided to step back for 2026 due to personal capacity and challenges with vendor participation.

A huge thank you to the Kenora Hospitality Alliance for their support with the venue, and to all the volunteers and sponsors who expressed interest!

Organizing these events is a big lift, and this year the timing wasn’t right. Rather than put on a “half-fest,” I’ve decided it’s best to cancel for this season.

While Winterfest is taking a “hibernation” year, I hope you all still get outside and enjoy the beautiful rinks and trails at Rabbit Lake this winter!!

Luckily we still have a handful of FREE event days coming up at the space:

Winter PD days - free skating and ice bike fun
Friday January 30 / Friday February 27
10:00am - 1:00pm
Partnered with Triple PLAY Kenora

Take a Kid Ice Fishing Day
Sunday March 1
Registration begins 9:30am
Followed by Winter Weekend of Wonder activities in the afternoon Tourism Kenora

Stay warm,

Vic Moss
