Winter Carnival Parade 2025

Central Avenue overflowed with thousands of revelers for the 66th annual Whitefish Winter Carnival Grand Parade on Feb. 8, 2025.  Falling snow made for a quintessential small town cold season celebration scene. In addition to the event’s traditional complement of vikings, valkyries, yetis and penguins, this year witches — both good and bad — strolled alongside flying monkeys, simple-minded scarecrows, lily-livered lions and tottering tin men, in accordance with the Land of Oz-inspired theme: “There’s Snow Place Like Home.” Hunter D'Antuono | Flathead Beacon
