Fireworks
The Winter Carnival starts and ends with a bang.  A fantastic fireworks show set off over frozen Payette Lake marks both the beginning and end of the festivities lighting up the night skies.



Mardi Gras Parade
The 1st Saturday of this week long event starts with a Mardi Gras themed parade complete with maching bands, floats and animals of all size.  Parade participants have themsevles loaded with lots of candy and beads to throw to the crowds lining the streets.  One of the favorite groups in the parade is the dancing Samba group.



Snow Sculptures
McCall's streets are adorned with dozens of  intricate snow sculptures available for viewing by the crowds that flock to this beautiful mountain town.  Many of the sculptures are interactive leading to hours of fun for young and old alike.
