Steamboat Springs Winter Carnival

If there’s a chill in the air, you know it’s almost time for the Steamboat Winter Carnival. This annual event celebrates over 100 years of mountain heritage and our tradition of winter sports.

Neighbors and guests alike gather to shake off their cabin fever and enjoy a variety of unique attractions you won’t find anywhere else. Highlights include sleigh rides, fireworks and the unforgettable Night Show Extravaganza, with skiers in lighted suits zooming down the slopes.

Steamboat Pro Rodeo Series

Fearless riders. Clouds of dirt. The roar of the crowd. The rodeo has been a staple of Steamboat Springs for well over 100 years. Our skilled cowboys and cowgirls show their mettle all summer long at the Steamboat Pro Rodeo Series. This action-packed event offers unforgettable thrills and chills, including traditional bull riding, barrel racing, saddleback riding and steer wrestling. Don’t miss the world-class rodeo during your stay in Steamboat.

Mainstreet Steamboat Springs Farmers Market

Indulge in local flavors at the Mainstreet Farmers Market. Every Saturday throughout the summer season, local vendors and artists hawk their wares. If you’re looking for a unique gift or Steamboat signature item, this is where to find it. Unique offerings include meats, greens, artisan items and cottage industry products. Spend your Saturday strolling down Yampa and 7th Streets as part of your Steamboat Springs experience.

Steamboat Food and Wine Festival

Our local Food and Wine Festival celebrates the culinary arts in its many forms. Each renowned chef and winemaker brings the best of their craft, allowing patrons to experience the most luxurious sensations. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of each ingredient’s origins — from field to fork, vine to glass. The dining experiences are carefully curated, creating a fantastic fusion of flavors.

    February 9, 2023 February 13, 2023

    The Winter Carnival celebration includes a variety of events that embrace Steamboat's western heritage and highlight our tradition of winter sports.

    This unique event includes everything from kids pulled on skis behind horses down a snow-covered main street, to the Lighted Man at the Night Show Extravaganza who's battery-powered suit weighs 70 pounds.

    Celebrate 110 Years of Winter Tradition in Steamboat Springs

    Mention a parade and fireworks and people say that’s typical. Talk about adults on shovels being pulled down main street behind horses or skiers jumping through fiery hoops and people stop to listen. In Steamboat Springs we do things differently, and with the oldest, continuous Winter Carnival west of the Mississippi, this event is certainly no different.

    ABOUT THE WINTER CARNIVAL

    Winter Carnival was started by the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club (SSWSC) as a way to help residents cope with cabin fever during the height of the Colorado winter season.

    The event continues to this day as a way to celebrate winter; as a reason for neighbors to gather; and as an opportunity, for everyone to experience a piece of Ski Town USA® history and tradition.
