Centennial Park / Dow People Place, Sarnia, ON

For 21 years, Sarnia Snowfest has wowed audiences by creating a wonderful winter wonderland. Every year we invite artists from all over the world to come and sculpt massive 8ft tall blocks of snow, turning them into wonderful works of art for all to enjoy. This winter carnival has grown over time and is a festival that is enjoyed by adults and children alike.

You can take a ride on the snow slide, go tobogganing on the berms in Centennial Park, eat lots of yummy food from one of our vendors, enjoy live entertainment in our large Entertainment Igloo and much much more.

Come out to Dow People Place and Centennial Park in Sarnia this January 16-22, 2012 to get in on all the action. Only $2 for Adults and $1 for Children, this affordable winter carnival has something fun for families and children of all ages.

Now in our 21st year, we have taken the festival to new heights this year as we add some super new features. Come out and try Olde Fashioned Snow Taffy, made right before your eyes. You can play in our giant snow castle, watch movies in the Igloo and much more.
