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.

Live Forging Demo with Horsfield Knives - Watch Kody Horsfield at work as red-hot steel is shaped into hand-forged pieces.
