FAMILY DAY WEEKEND ACTIVITIES

February 09, 2026

As we near Family Day, the City of Bathurst informs citizens that, due to circumstances out of our control, the usual Snowfest activity schedule will not be present this year. A return to regular activities is certainly anticipated for next year!

THAT SAID, we highlight the many family-oriented options available to all, such as snowshoeing at Daly Point Nature Reserve, Cross Country skiing, fat biking, and sliding.

You can also take advantage of the FREE activities slated for the upcoming weekend. See the schedule below!
