County of GP’s Family Winter Frostival returns on March 2nd

The County of Grande Prairie’s Family Winter Frostival is back for another year, this time at Hommy Park Campground.

On March 2nd, from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. residents are invited to head out to the campground for an afternoon of winter activities, suitable for all ages.

County Reeve Bob Marshall calls the event a “highlight” of the winter season, that promotes healthy, active lifestyles while bringing the community together.

This event is a highlight of the winter season, giving residents the chance to enjoy quality time with family and friends while embracing the beauty of our County during the winter season,” he says. 

The Frostival will offer sleigh rides, snow painting, and a bonfire for attendees to keep warm. Additionally, participants can explore the trails and join a guided snowshoe walk with County staff at 1:00 p.m.

The county adds that all activities are subject to weather conditions, and the event will be canceled if temperatures, including wind chill, fall below -20°C. 

Admission is free; however, online registration is required in advance.
