Are you excited for winter? The Richmond Hill Winter Carnival Commitee sure is! We're in the planning stages for the upcoming RHWC 2024 weekend, February 3 & 4, and Ookpik has been making some appearances around the city. Did you see him at the Merry Marketplace on November 18? He'll be popping up at other events in Richmond Hill too.
Big news! Richmond Hill MPs Majid Jowhari and Leah Taylor Roy announced that the Richmond Hill Winter Carnival is receiving a non-repayable contribution, as part of the Government of Canada's Tourism Relief Fund, through the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario.
This support means so much to our Winter Carnival volunteer committee, as we get our in-person carnival started again after a few years of COVID inaction!
Committee co-chair Doug Elliott accepted the official proclamation of the federal contribution on stage today, to much applause from the audience.
Our diamond and platinum sponsor boards show tangible recognition of vital support to this year’s carnival. Thanks so much!

We’ve heard some rave reviews of the spaghetti and meatballs served up on the Saturday night, and would love to have some more feedback on this year’s Carnival. Not just on the food, but tell us what you liked and even what you didn’t like – all suggestions are gratefully received, so our volunteer committee can do an even better job of presenting outdoor winter fun next year! Please fill out our survey.
We've been updating our Winners page, including listing the winning numbers from the Carnival Button Draw.
Plus, if you took some awesome pictures of the Carnival over the weekend, it's not too late to enter our Photography Contest! Submission deadline is February 10th.
Today is the first day of the Richmond Hill Winter Carnival! Our day starts off with music at 10 am, followed by a few great activities, and our official opening ceremonies start at 12:30 pm.
