Magog's annual Winter Festival

Magog's annual Fête des Neiges takes place every February at Merry Point Park. The festival is strongly oriented towards children and families. Entrance is free. Most of the exhibits and events are sponsored by local merchants.

The events include ice sculptures, tube slides, dog sled rides, horse drawn sleigh rides, marshmellow roasts and skidoo ATV rides offered by the Magog police department. One of the highlights of the festival is to see the Mayor of Magog and town officials jumping into icy water on the edge of Lake Memphremagog. It's a tradition that maybe some other politicians should try!
