February 13-22
From February 13–22, Sandpoint turns winter into a town-wide celebration with the 53rd annual Sandpoint Winter Carnival, packing ten days with parades, concerts, mountain events, trivia, food, and plenty of late-winter energy. The fun kicks off Friday night with the Parade of Lights winding through downtown, followed by block parties, live music, and a packed concert schedule, including Paper Flowers’ Remembering Fleetwood Mac and Valentine’s weekend shows at Live from the Hive.
Presidents’ Day weekend brings added momentum, with Schweitzer hosting special events on the mountain while downtown fills with Valentine’s dinners, trivia nights, dance classes, sleigh ride concerts, and the Winter Farmers’ Market. Throughout the week, locals and visitors can catch bluegrass jams, live radio performances at the Panida, concerts at the 219 Lounge and Panida Theater, and community-driven events that highlight Sandpoint’s creative spirit.
As Winter Carnival heads into its final weekend, highlights include Comedy Avalanche at the Panida, a pickleball tournament benefiting local firefighters, Family Day on the Cedar Street Bridge, and plenty of après-ski opportunities. The celebration wraps up Sunday, February 22, with the beloved Eichardt’s K9 Keg Pull, where dogs of all sizes race down Cedar Street pulling kegs for prizes and charity.
