Say Goodbye To Winter With Washington’s Frozen Festival
Celebrate the end of winter with a family-friendly trip to the White Pass Winter Carnival in Washington, featuring snow sculptures, free tubing, and a Torch Light Parade.
Despite persistent winter winds and snow drifts that won't quit, when the end of February rolls around, we start to feel confident that we're about to bid winter officially adieu. Before we do, though, celebrate this chilly and beautiful season with a trip to White Pass Ski Area the first weekend in March for the White Pass Winter Carnival in Washington.
Located at the summit of US Highway 12 just 12 miles southeast of Mt. Rainier National Park, the White Pass Ski Area is laid back and beautiful.
Every year, they host the White Pass Winter Carnival at the end of the season.
The Winter Carnival is a family-friendly event that happens to be one of the most popular festivals in the Northwest.
And while you're welcome to ski or snowboard, you don't have to be into either of those things to enjoy it.
One of the highlights of the carnival is the impressive group of snow sculptures.
The sculptors begin work on Thursday, ending on Saturday afternoon.
The sculptures alone make the trip worth it.
Other highlights include free tubing, carnival games for the kids, live music, and a Winter Carnival Dinner.
The highlight, the Torch Light Parade and fireworks display, kick off at 7 p.m. on Saturday.
The White Pass Winter Carnival is a great way for Washingtonians to enjoy one last seasonal celebration. What are your favorite winter festivals in Washington?
Even though winter in Washington seems like it lasts forever we always have plenty to look forward to when spring arrives, like the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival.
