Bear Lake’s biggest winter celebration is set for January 29–30, 2027. Registration for Bear Lake Monster Winterfest opens Saturday, November 28 at 9 a.m. Mountain — mark the calendar if you want a plunge sweatshirt or a cardboard-boat wave assignment.

Events span Logan Canyon, Sunrise Resort & Event Center, and the Utah Bear Lake State Park Marina. Marina entry is free for Winterfest guests, and proceeds support The Family Place.

The weekend includes free winter-sports tryouts Friday, then Saturday’s Monster 5K, chili cook-off, cardboard boat regatta, Monster Plunge (capped at 300 with online preregistration), raffle, and evening dance, s’mores, stargazing, and fireworks at the State Park.

Two changes this year: the Cisco fishing event and the vendor market will not be held.
