Ice, ice, baby! The Lillooet Ice Festival is just around the corner, and we’ve planned a great event. Mark your calendars, because from February 14-16, the charming town of Lillooet plays host to the premier west coast ice festival.

New for 2026! We added a third day to the festival now scheduled over the Family Day stat holiday weekend. Join us for a long weekend packed with laughter, socializing, the latest gear, and fantastic ice climbing clinics. Bring your desire to learn. In addition to full day climbing clinics, we have 3 hour skills clinics, and 1 hour workshops.

With the newly added third day we are planning more clinics and an additional evening avalanche presentation! The plan is to focus on avalanche awareness specifically related to ice climbers in the Duffy Lake and Bridge River regions. Learn about weather patterns, avalanche activity, and decision making unique to coastal ice climbs.

With music, incredible presentations, and amazing raffle prizes, the Lillooet Ice Festival brings ice climbers together in a celebration of our community. This festival values inclusivity and strives to break down barrier’s allowing all climbers to participate and feel a sense of belonging.

Don’t let the cold feet stop you - we can’t wait to see you there!

This event will take place on the unceded and ancestral territory of the St’át’imcets speaking peoples of the St’át’imc Nation, and has been stewarded by them since time immemorial. The term unceded acknowledges the dispossession of the land and the inherent rights that St’át’imc Nation hold to the territory. The term serves as a reminder that St’át’imc have never left their territory and will always retain their jurisdiction and relationships with the territory. We are visitors - please be respectful.
