Winter Carnival
has been an annual affair for the community of McCall since
sometime in the 1960’s. In those early days the community
searched for a way to bring people to McCall during the winter
months, so the idea of a Winter Carnival was begun. Each
year a theme is chosen and then the area businesses build ice
and snow sculptures following the theme.
A Children’s Neon Light Parade kicks off the Winter Carnival
on the last Friday of January. This event is
sponsored by the McCall Chamber of Commerce. Children from the
area
and their parents gather at the Community Congregational United
Church of Christ, to register and receive their “glow sticks “
and megaphones, and then they march in a children’s parade to
the opening ceremony.
