The 45th annual Griz Days winter festival is back next weekend with celebrations and events happening all over town from Friday 4 March through Sunday 6 March.

Fernie’s beloved winter festival Griz Days will be celebrating its 44th year next weekend (March 5-7), but in a completely different format due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

The spirit of Fernie’s mountain man is at the very heart of Fernie’s 43rd celebration of Griz Days. The powder king of the Lizard Range, the icon of Fernie’s winter heritage, is inspiring all things Griz Days for this year’s winter festival, from March 6-8.

The Fernie Griz has embraced the hipster and is getting the entire town to get their “cool” on as part of this year’s Griz Days Gone Plaid celebration from March 2 – 4.
