The Snowcastle becomes a month-long celebration of community spirit. A winter wonderland is created on Yellowknife Bay where the Snowking and his talented, hardy northern helpers brave to build a huge castle made entirely of snow and ice.

On any given day, the Snowcastle might host a children’s play, followed by an art exhibit or a rock band, a film festival and finish the night off by transforming into a dance club.

The Festival celebrates from the end of the 1990s.
