SnowDays Festival
Every January Banff and Lake Louise comes alive with the annual SnowDays celebration. The streets of downtown Banff transform into larger-than-life winter galleries with giant snow sculptures to be found throughout. The thrill of skijoring can be felt by excited onlookers lining the streets of Banff Avenue and the sounds of laughter and joy can be heard echoing from the SnowDays Play Zone.
Chaque année en janvier, Banff et Lake Louise célèbrent les Jours de neige. Les rues du centre-ville de Banff se transforment en galerie d’art hivernal exposant des sculptures de neige géantes. Le long de l’avenue Banff, les spectateurs du skijoring frissonnent de plaisir et on entend des rires et des cris de joie retentir dans la zone de plaisir des Jours de neige.
