Deep Freeze: A Byzantine Winter Festival / Un festival d’hiver Byzantin

Welcome to Deep Freeze: A Byzantine Winter Festival — Edmonton’s first festival of the year!

Deep Freeze Festival is proud to continue celebrating Ukrainian, French Canadian, Franco African, Indigenous (Métis, Inuit, Cree), Latin American and Asian cultures, which are all deeply woven into the fabric of Alberta Avenue.

Celebrate the Olde New Year in Style! Embrace moments of connection as you sip hot cocoa, roast hotdogs over open flames, or explore artistic creations that capture the essence of winter. Deep Freeze offers a heartfelt way to mark the Olde New Year by bringing people together in celebration of creativity, culture, and community.

This winter experience is only possible because of hard-working staff and volunteers and the continued support of the community and local businesses.
