Sandpoint Idaho’s Annual Winter Carnival
Sandpoint’s Winter Carnival happened in 2013 from February 15-24 … and, yes, it was loads of fun!
Still rockin’ our winters after … 39 years!
Every year in the dead of winter, Sandpoint, Idaho, cooks up a sure antidote to cabin fever. It’s the Sandpoint Winter Carnival, pure fun celebrating the best of the snowy season … indoors and out.
This year’s carnival was February 15-24, 2013. Check back next year for all the details on Winter Carnival 2014 … our 40th annual! Meantime, check this glimpse of the 2013 fun:

We hope to see you here next year for the 40th annual Sandpoint Winter Carnival!
Don’t miss… one horse, one skier, one rope!
It’s Skijoring, a Scandinavian-inspired, centuries-old contest with horses and riders pulling skiers around a course at daredevil speeds. See website >
Plus much more!
Our 2013 Winter Carnival events included such favorites from past years as the cool Rail Jam and the very hot Cirque de Sandpoint, the downtown bonfire, the Schweitzer Extravaganza and more. For a look at the schedule, click to see all 2013 events>
