New Year's Eve Party on the Pond
Skating under a starlit sky - lights twinkling against a mountain backdrop - music, laughter, family and friends - New Year's Eve on the 10th Street Pond - a Canmore tradition. Take a horse and wagon ride, have a hot dog and hot chocolate, warm yourself by a blazing fire.
Each year hundreds of families come out for Canmore's annual Party on the Pond. Perhaps it's because we're a community of outdoor enthusiasts or maybe it's the old-fashioned charm that the evening offers. Whatever the reason, we'd like to invite you to be part of a Canmore tradition. See you there! |
