Head on up to Midway on January 12 for the third annual Wasatch Mountain State Park Winterfest for free rentals, education sessions, sled dog demonstrations, and more.

The party starts at 10 a.m. Saturday morning and continues until 2 p.m. Utah State Park day-use fees apply.

We can all agree that playing in the snow is fun. Snowmen, snowballs, and snow angels are classics. But why stop there? At this 2019 Winterfest event, Utah State Parks staff will have snowshoes, cross-country skis, and fat-tire bikes available for all visitors to try for free. This is one of the only times these snow toys will be available to use at no cost, so be sure to not let this opportunity pass you by.

There will also be sled dog demonstrations, avalanche awareness education, snowmobile demos, hot food and drinks for purchase, and more.
So, whether you are a cross-country skier, snowmobiler, snowshoer, or want to try cycling in the snow, this event is for you.

Because of the popularity of this event, those wanting to attend are required to RSVP. Please call 435-654-1791 to make your reservations for equipment.

Bear Lake Monster Winterfest

Bear Lake Monster Winterfest

East Canyon State Park is where the first Winterfest Celebration was born, so it lends to reason they have an idea or two about how to make it an experience you’ll remember.

There is a monster coming to this state park, and it’s not the Bear Lake Monster; it is the Winterfest Celebration! Most activities take place in the Utah Bear Lake State Park Marina. The entrance fee at the Marina will be waived for those attending the event, with a hope that you’ll donate to the Common Ground charity that the event is fundraising for.

The event hosted by the Bear Lake Rendezvous Chamber of Commerce, Bear Lake Valley Convention & Visitors Bureau, Garden City Fire District, and Bear Lake State Park.

There are a plethora of activities to attend at this event, including the Monster Plunge, Cisco Disco, Chili Cookoff, and an outdoor expo. The festivities start at sunrise, so be sure you get there early.
