Banff Events
There’s always a lot happening in Banff, with one exception: the past year. But things are looking up and we’re preparing to get back to all the things we love about our community. Events, concerts, art shows, farmer’s markets and parades are all just around the corner, and the best way to get there quicker is to properly protect ourselves, our families and our neighbours.

SnowDays
Snowfall always feels like a sprinkle of magic in Banff and Lake Louise. No matter how the world has changed, a snowball fight will fill you with a thrill of adrenaline. Skating across an alpine lake will make you feel like you’re starring in a fairy tale, and your snow angel will always be a masterpiece. How will you indulge your sense of adventure on your SnowDays holiday?
The streets of downtown Banff will be transformed into larger-than-life winter galleries by our SnowDays Snow Sculptures. While you’re admiring the exhibition, stop off at one of 16 restaurants and cafes on the Hot Chocolate Trail to take away a limited time treat.
Our three world-class ski resorts are waiting to welcome you, fluffy pow at the ready. The cross-country skiing and snowshoe trails of the park are more picturesque than ever, and Banff’s two outdoor rinks invite you to skate and play in the quintessential Canadian experience.
Continue your SnowDays adventure with an unforgettable dog-sled or horse drawn sleigh ride through a snow-covered valley or feel the exhilaration as you whizz down the slopes at the Norquay Tube Park. Find your best day ever in Banff and Lake Louise, where SnowDays celebrates snowy adventures in the glittering mountain landscapes of the Canadian Rockies.
