PERTH — Perth Tourism invites residents and visitors to bundle up and head downtown for the return of Frost & Fire Winter Festival, taking place on Saturday, Feb. 14, 2026, as part of Family Day Weekend.

This year’s festival offers a full day of winter fun for all ages, with activities running from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Events and attractions will take place throughout Perth, both indoors and outdoors, including the much-loved tubing run, making it easy to explore, play, and warm up along the way.

Visitors can slide down the tubing run in downtown Perth, take part in outdoor laser tag, and, weather permitting, enjoy outdoor skating and sledding. Inside the Perth Museum, craft stations will be available for those looking to get creative, while indoor and outdoor warming stations help keep the winter chill away.

The Vendor Marketplace at the Crystal Palace will once again showcase handmade goods, local treats, and unique finds from talented artisans, offering the perfect opportunity to shop local and discover something new. Festival-goers are also encouraged to explore Perth’s downtown shops, cafés, and restaurants, many of which will be open throughout the day and ready to welcome visitors.

Looking to extend the weekend fun? Begin with the PEP Trivia Night and test your knowledge on Friday, Feb. 13, at the Crystal Palace. For those looking to continue the Family Day Weekend celebrations, The Table Community Food Centre will host the 2nd Perth Multicultural Food Fair on Sunday, Feb. 15, also at the Crystal Palace.

Frost & Fire Winter Festival takes place Saturday, Feb. 14, 2026, in Perth. For full event details and updates, visit Perth.ca/FrostAndFire.
