Banff Sunshine Village Opening Day

SnowDays returns to Banff in 2026 with giant snow sculptures, live entertainment, skating, and the thrill of skijoring down Banff Avenue. Choose your favourite events and celebrate winter in the heart of the Canadian Rockies.

Held at the Banff Heritage Train Station, the Banff Christmas Market transforms the space into a charming festive market venue. Inspired by the old world and influenced by the new, it captures all the tradition, heritage, and romance of European Holiday Markets with a mountain twist.

This holiday season, embark on a flavourful adventure through town, sampling an array of hot chocolates that range from traditional classics to creatively spirited concoctions. Banff and Lake Louise’s Hot Chocolate Trail is a treasure map of more than 20 restaurants and cafes each offering a limited-time festive-themed hot chocolate.
