Penticton is inviting residents and community groups to submit creative event proposals for Frost Fest 2027, scheduled for January 22 to 24. Proposals for activities ranging from live music to winter experiences must be submitted by October 30, 2026.
The city’s flagship winter event is back in January, prompting local officials to call on businesses, community organizations, and event organizers to shape the upcoming entertainment lineup.
Organizers are casting a wide net for the festival, which runs from January 22 through January 24, 2027. The City of Penticton is asking interested parties to complete an Expression of Interest form to propose activities that will build excitement during the week leading up to the main weekend events.
When the temperature drops, the local area heats up for three days characterized by outdoor fun, live entertainment, family activities, and pure winter magic. Whether attendees are visiting for the adrenaline, the music, or a cup of hot chocolate, the festival serves as a destination where winter comes to life.
“From trivia nights and live music to workshops, family activities, and unique winter experiences, we’re on the lookout for creative event ideas that bring people together and help build excitement throughout the week leading up to Frost Fest,”
