Those hoping to toss a bike or handicap a minnow race in Fish Creek this February will have to wait until 2022. The Fish Creek Civic Association announced on Wednesday the cancellation of its Winter Festival due to COVID-19 concerns. A fundraiser for many local organizations, the Fish Creek Winter Festival was known for its unique events like the stump fiddle competition, toilet seat tossing, and the Froot Loop Run. Karlie Schultz from the Fish Creek Civic Association says they held off on canceling it for as long as they could.

In its place, Schultz hopes visitors to Fish Creek will take advantage of its Winter [festive} Tour of Lights, which is a collection of 70 new holiday decorations for people to visit and take selfies.

For those that cannot wait until the return of the Fish Creek Winter Festival in 2022, Schultz says a light display paying homage will be put up at the end of the month.
