UPCOMING EVENTS
Steamboat Springs Winter Carnival — February 3-7, 2010
Lincoln Avenue is transformed into a winter wonderland for the Street Events and is closed to traffic as the City’s Parks and Recreation department hauls in more than 400 tons of snow both Saturday and Sunday mornings to cover the street for the impending fun. Steamboat Springs’ Winter Carnival is the oldest winter celebration in the West.
Traditional Carnival favorites include the snow sculpture contest downtown, ski races at Howelsen Hill, snow tubing and the pancake breakfast. Weekend activities include the Street Events on Lincoln Avenue, the Saturday Night Extravaganza at Howelsen Hill and the Diamond Hitch Parade on Sunday featuring the Steamboat Springs High School ski band, the world’s only marching band on skis. Local organizations participate and dress to the 2010 parade theme: “Livin’ the Dream.”
Steamboat Winter Olympian Send-Off Celebrations — February 5, 2010
Before Steamboat's top athletes leave on their Winter Olympic Games journey, Steamboat Springs plans to throw them one of the biggest parties our town has ever seen. The event will include Olympic stars, fireworks and a heart-stopping aerials show.
Steamboat has hosted two other Olympic send-offs in recent memory. In 2002, the event drew 5,000 people downtown before the Olympics in Salt Lake City, and in 2006 an estimated 10,000 people showed up at the rodeo grounds for a send-off for the Olympics in Turin, Italy. The event was anchored by a concert by Hootie & the Blowfish.
