Havelock Fire & Ice Festival 2026

Winter in Northumberland County hits different.

It is quieter.
It is calmer.
And somehow… it brings people together even more.

If you want one event that feels like “small-town Canada at its best,” this is it.

The Havelock, Ontario Fire & Ice Festival 2026 is coming, and it is packed with family fun, winter energy, and that hometown pride we love seeing in our communities.

What Makes This Festival So Good

This is not a “stand around for 10 minutes and leave” kind of event.

This is the kind of afternoon where your kids fall asleep on the drive home.
And you are happy about it.

Here is what people love most:

Fire. Ice. “Wow” moments.

Live fire performances are a total crowd magnet, and the vibe is electric when the flames hit the cold air. The festival features **NorthFIRE Circus style winter shows that are built for outdoor events like this.

Skating, stick time, and real winter fun

Outdoor rink energy is the best.

Public skating.
Stick and puck.
And a full “community day” feel where everyone is cheering each other on.

Firepits, marshmallows, and “cozy winter” energy

This is the heart of it.

Warm up.
Toast a marshmallow.
Let the kids roam.

It feels simple.
That is the magic.

The Ice Lantern Walk

If you want a perfect “winter memory” moment, this is it.

A lantern lit walk in the park.
Snow under your boots.
That calm winter glow.

Snacks that make it feel like a festival

Yes, **BeaverTails is part of the fun, and it just fits this kind of day.

Quick “What to Bring” Checklist

Because cold can sneak up on you.

• Warm boots (dry feet = happy day)

• Hand warmers (cheap, huge win)

• A thermos (hot chocolate energy)

• A small sled for little kids (if you have one)

• Phone on low power mode (cold kills batteries)

Action line: Dress for 15 minutes longer than you think you will stay.
