This Alberta town is hosting a huge festival with hot air balloons, fireworks & Holi colour throwing

This winter, let your imagination take flight! Though we wouldn’t usually associate such vibrant festivals with snow and frost, those looking for something enchanting should check out The Meltdown in Sylvan Lake, Alberta later this March.

A family-friendly experience, the frosty hurrah will feature a day’s worth of activities from a candy toss and food trucks, to hot air balloons and even Holi colour-throwing.

Not only will 3 baskets be sent up into the air for all to see, but the vibrant Holi celebration will see blue, red, yellow and green powder released to represent the change of seasons.

Not cool enough? Hang tight, because that’s hardly all!

In addition, there will also be some incredible performances which will showcase a pro-hula-hooper and the dancers from the Young Bhangra Dance Academy, plus fireworks!

Don’t miss it, Alberta. It’s going to be unreal and (as if it couldn’t get any better) free to attend!

Enjoy and happy visiting!
