A few new attractions for all ages will be on offer at this year’s fest, including L’shed à Léo, an exhibition of objects and photos that mascot Léo la Tuque keeps in his shed from festivals of yesteryear, as well as interactive self-guided activity tours of Fort Gibraltar, a new outdoor lounge, a beverage shack, information panels on maple syrup production and a daytime ice sculpting workshop. Also new this year: the option to purchase weekend passes.

And, for the first time since winter 2023, snow sculptures will part of the cityscape in the weeks leading up to the festival. Last year’s event looked a little different owing to unseasonably warm temperatures and little snow on the ground.
