Welcome to Deep Freeze: A Byzantine Winter Festival, Edmonton's first festival of the year!

On January 18 and 19, 2025, embrace the spirit of "Barnyard Blitz!" Dive into Alberta's agricultural roots with a community celebration like no other.

Celebrate the diverse cultures of Alberta Avenue District—Ukrainian, French Canadian, Franco African, Indigenous (Métis, Inuit, Cree), Latin American, and Asian—through art, performances, and delicious treats. Explore Pipon Village for snowshoeing, bannock by the fire, and cultural storytelling. Plus, enjoy Deep Freezer Races, axe-throwing, street hockey, and whimsical ice sculptures!

A heartfelt thanks to our amazing staff, volunteers, and community for making this festival possible. Join us for a weekend of winter magic, barnyard fun, and celebration at the 2025 Deep Freeze Festival!
