Since 1961, our mission has been to foster community spirit and promote Vernon as a Winter Destination through a 10-day Winter Festival. Vernon Winter Carnival offers a unique winter experience that is inclusive to all. We strive to bring our community together through fun events and activities that keep us connected through shared experiences. Through honoured Carnival traditions and exciting new opportunities, residents and visitors get to show their community spirit— to show the true Carnival spirit. As a non-profit society we rely on your continued support to help us achieve our vision to be leaders in community spirit and engagement, not only during Vernon Winter Carnival, but year round.
