Frost will once again have four main hubs where activities and events will take place: the REAL district, downtown Regina, the Warehouse District and Wascana Park.
The 2024 Frost winter festival is set to kick off this week, marking its third anniversary.
The 10-day event begins on Friday and includes indoor and outdoor activities, all with a winter theme.
Frost will once again have four main hubs where activities and events will take place: the REAL district, Downtown Regina, the Warehouse District and Wascana Park.
Last year, there were 88,790 visits to all four hubs, compared with 68,012 the first year. This year, the festival anticipates more than 100,000 attendees.
Sophie Farrell of the Regina Downtown Business Improvement District said she is most looking forward to the ice sculpture competition returning.
“We have five teams competing, so you’ll get to come and see people creating these structures and then also vote for your favourite,” Farrell said.
All events in the downtown hub are free of charge. Certain events throughout the festival have extra costs associated with them.
To get ready for the festival, the skating rink on Wascana Lake in front of the legislative building was opened Wednesday.
