Celebrate the New Year with an unforgettable evening at Cirque Restaurant. Enjoy a delicious dinner, then dance your way into 2026 with DJ Le Chantel spinning from 8 pm until late. This event sells out every year, so be sure to reserve early.

Fireworks

Join us for an evening of fun, free family activities ending with a spectacular fireworks show (held in partnership with Tourism Fernie). The fireworks will take place on the Mighty Moose slope at 9 pm.  The best viewing areas for the fireworks will be at the base of the Mighty Moose run.

Family Activities

We will also have a variety of family crafts and activities in Slopeside Cafe from 7pm - 9pm. The activities are FREE of charge. The cafe will also be open for you to purchase hot chocolate and other warm drinks to warm up before the fireworks.

NOTE: Due to the high volume of people expected for New Year's Eve, no sledding or toboggining is permitted on the Mighty Moose and lower mountain. Grab your skis/snowboards for some night skiing and join us inside Slopeside Cafe for family activities instead!
