Greenwood Snow Festival

Overview

Celebrating a decade of wintery debauchery, the Greenwood Hotel's much-loved Snow Festival is back from Friday, June 27–Sunday, July 6. Featuring a jam-packed lineup, this North Shore institution has been fully transformed into an Aspen-themed wonderland, with 50 tonnes of real snow making this bustling program an unforgettable experience.

For the 2025 edition, one of the headline attractions is the 20-metre toboggan slide, where the whole family can get involved in this adrenaline-pumping experience usually reserved for the snowfields. Then, it's time for the Canada Day Party on Saturday, June 28. Everything Great White North is going down, from street hockey showdowns and themed trivia to massive giveaways, including a return United Airlines flight to Canada.

Like every good mountain resort, the Greenwood Snow Festival hosts Winter Night Markets. From Monday, June 30–Friday, July 4, expect fashion, art and homewares alongside mulled wine, winter cocktails, street food bites and live music. There's also the chance to break out your boot-scootin' ways, as Shania Twain Line Dancing takes over the Greenwood's usual dance class on Tuesday, July 1, with non-stop hits and endless yee-haws.

The following night welcomes Mario Kart Snowdown: Battle of the Businesses. Putting corporate pride on the line, you'll compete on the controller to see who can glide their way to victory. And it's just for bragging rights. The office with the best time will receive 15 percent off the Greenwood Hotel for the whole year. With loads more parties and events happening throughout the Greenwood Snow Festival, now is the time to prepare your winter outfit for the faux slopes of North Sydney.
