Northport’s Winter Carnival

Feb. 21, 2026

On Saturday, Feb. 28, Northport Community Events presents the village’s winter carnival, which is packed with fun in the snow (or slush, depending on what the weather brings us). For the sports fans, it will be like the Olympics never ended, with the time-honored traditions of broomball, milk jug curling, and a cardboard sled race. New this year is a snowman contest, with building time allotted from 12-3pm and then a round of judging to declare the coolest creation in town. Another adorable activity is for elementary students: Help name the festival’s otter mascot, who will be on-site starting at 12pm! (Grown-ups, get name suggestions from your littles and email your entry to nptcommunityevents@gmail.com.) And then, of course, there’s a belly-warming chili cook-off with four categories: traditional, veggie, white, and wild game. Bundle up and get ready for the fun at northportcommunityevents.org.
