Whitefish Winter Carnival: Coronation Of Prince & Princess
Jan 17th, 2026
6 p.m. - 8 p.m.

Where:
O’Shaughnessy Center
Whitefish, MT

Description:
The Coronation is a Carnival highlight where community-selected royalty are formally introduced with fanfare and a parade of events to follow throughout the winter season. Families gather to watch the ceremony, then head into the weekend for parades, live music, and classic winter games. It’s equal parts small-town pageantry and winter festival magic.
