From snowy days to romantic nights, this is what's going down in the mountains near Calgary in February 2017. 

Experience the Snow King MasqueParade in Golden

This annual event, now in its 11th year, sees the local community come together to create a spectacle of art and creativity. For one night, Golden's Spirit Square (the plaza at the centre of town) is transformed into a fantastical street party to welcome the arrival of Snow King and Lady Spring down from the mountain. Over 1,000 people pack the square to celebrate with music, dancing, stilt-walking, giant puppets, ice-carving and circus acts. The festivities kick off at 7 p.m. on Saturday, February 18.
