The experience
What's special
Every year in the dead of winter since 1973, Sandpoint, Idaho has cooked up its Winter Carnival as an antidote to cabin fever, and the 2027 carnival runs February 12 to 21. In 2026 the ten days opened with the Parade of Lights through downtown Sandpoint, brought fireworks up the mountain at Schweitzer and live music all over town, and closed with Eichardt's K9 Keg Pull, where dogs race down a snowy course on Cedar Street pulling kegs sized to the dog, from a full-size keg for a St. Bernard to a beer can for a chihuahua, as a fundraiser for the Better Together Animal Alliance pet shelter.
