We are pleased to announce that the fifth-annual Deep Freeze: Byzantine Winter Festival will be held on January 7th and 8th, 2012 and will be situated along three closed blocks of Alberta (118th) Avenue between 92nd and 94th Streets.  This winter adventure celebrates the Russian/Ukrainian “Olde New Year” and embraces the cold northern climate by melding artistic panache with authentic cultural and heritage winter games and fun.

The Deep Freeze Winter Festival is a free family event that brings together the Ukrainian, Franco-Albertan, Franco-African, First Nations, and South American communities to revel in the magic and beauty of winter.  This year’s theme Surf’s Up: a Snow to Sand Winter Adventure will offer exiting opportunities for both patrons and artists creating unexpected experiences celebrating the community through its urban landscape and exceptional spaces.
