2024 McCall Winter Carnival is right around the corner! It’s one of our family’s favorite traditions. If you haven’t heard, it looks very different this year than in the years past. Instead of a two week celebration, it is a ONE WEEKEND celebration. Swipe for dates. 

Also- THE RULES HAVE CHANGED! This is the official statement from mccallwintercarnival about the creation of snow sculptures.

“These beloved attractions are a staple at Carnival. But the weather this year has been super challenging when it comes to getting snow blocks for sculptures to freeze. And while the weather might not be cooperating, creativity can still shine when it comes to sculptures.
So this year...forget the rules!
We know how much time and effort it takes to build these and with mild temps, getting the base for our sculptures is near impossible. So we are throwing out the rule book on structural restrictions and allowing builders to use anything and everything at their disposal. Plywood, Plastic, Chicken Wire - Anything is fair game to help these sculptures create a solid foundation and base shape.
Let's live up to our theme, "Color Outside the Lines," and use those imaginations. Add lights, splash some color, or incorporate any mixed media to enhance the creation. The sky is the limit.
Thank you to everyone who puts long, long hours into building sculptures. We appreciate all of your efforts!”

While it sounds like the businesses in McCall are pleased with the choice to shorten the event in general, this is going to be a massive in flux of people in one weekend, so expect to deal with that and please do so with grace and patience. Pack food, dress warm, carpool if possible. Link to the events on the Hellomeridian.com calendar. Have fun! #hellomeridian #mccallwintercarnival #mccallwintercarnival2024 #theboisebubble #mccallidaho mccallwintercarnival visitmccall idaho theboisebubble
