Winter Festival
Courtyard
Celebrate the Canadian Great Outdoors.
Step into the heart of winter adventure as you pass through our Winter Fest Courtyard, the immersive outdoor hub located between our second vendor hall and the speaker hall.
This open-air space celebrates everything we love about the Canadian Great Outdoors: crisp air, crackling fires, good food, and unforgettable moments.
Whether you're grabbing a bite, warming up by the fire, stepping into a sauna, or checking out gear in action, the Winter Fest Courtyard is designed to be fun, lively, and full of outdoor inspiration. It’s the perfect way to embrace winter, Ontario-style.
Dress for the weather. Be sure to bundle up and enjoy every moment of this outdoor adventure zone.
