Friday was the last day of the Snowking’s Winter Festival in N.W.T.
People flocked to Yellowknife’s snow castle on Friday afternoon on the last day of the Snowking’s Winter Festival.
“It’s always a sad day when the castle closes, but this has been a good year,” said Tim Laity, who volunteers at the festival leading tours, and was there on Friday with his kids and grandkids.
“Having a month-long winter festival in a winter city is a good thing.”
The final evening event of the festival will be Friday night, and on Saturday, the crew will begin to dismantle the castle.
They are aiming to have the stage area, including the rafters overhead, dismantled by Monday so an excavator can come and “start breaking things,” said “Snowking” Anthony Foliot.
