Jack Frost Winterfest

Coming Family Day long weekend in February

Jack Frost Winterfest, presented by Island Coastal, returns to Prince Edward Island over Family Day long weekend, February 14–17.

The festival kicks off with Swift Kick, an all-ages Taylor Swift tribute concert on February 14 at 7 pm at the Delta Prince Edward in Charlottetown. Fans are encouraged to dress in their favourite Era, trade friendship bracelets, and more. A separate ticket is required for this event, with early bird pricing available until December 31.

Snowtopia, Jack Frost’s outdoor playground, returns to the Mark Arendz Provincial Ski Park Nordic Site in Brookvale. This winter wonderland offers ice sculpting, ice slides, tube runs, buskers, horse and sleigh rides, and face painting. Snowtopia will be open daily from 10:30 am–5 pm, February 15–17, and a ticket is required for admission.

For indoor fun, Frosty Funland at the Delta Prince Edward in Charlottetown will have bouncy castles, inflatables, games, Jack Frost meet-and-greets, and live children’s shows. A ticket is required for admission and the venue will be open daily from 10:30 am–6 pm, February 15–17.

 Building on the success of last year’s Once Upon a Time show, the festival is again teaming up with Craig Fair Productions to offer an all-new live children’s performance, Once Upon a Winter, Jack’s wondrous snowy journey featuring favourite Disney tales. Join the hero, Jack Frost, on an enchanting journey of discovery as he learns valuable lessons about balance and teamwork. Through a delightful mix of singing, dancing, and audience interaction, Jack and his friends explore the importance of communication and resilience against a magical snowy backdrop.

In addition to the ticketed events, families can enjoy free activities. Sleigh Bell Boulevard in downtown Charlottetown on February 15 will feature a fireworks display, horse and sleigh rides, buskers, and live entertainment. The Warm and Glow Zone at Founders’ Food Hall & Market will host an outdoor skating rink, along with family programming, and a relaxing space to enjoy food and festivities.

Early bird pricing is in effect until December 31. Save up to 30 percent off on-site pricing by visiting jackfrostfestival.com. For in-person tickets, visit the Kent Street Market at The Shops of Confederation Court Mall.
