Eighth Annual Hinton Growler Fat Bike Endurance Race!
Special thanks to our 2025 title sponsor
Every February, Hintonites join together to create something amazing. Town Divisions, local non-profits, teams, organizations, businesses; they all contribute and host events to contribute to the overall festival. Two weeks of winter activities, ranging from cultural pursuits to winter sports, break up the monotony of the cold weather and bring together residents and visitors alike to revel in our winter wonderland.
