The 59th Annual Vernon Winter Carnival is ramping up and tickets for all events go on sale Dec. 7 at 9 a.m.
A Pirate’s Carnival runs Feb. 1-10, 2019 with and is presented by Valley First.
“The lineup of events this year is absolutely amazing, said Vicki Proulx, Carnival executive director. “There is literally something for everyone to do.”
More than 95 events have been booked for the 2019 Vernon Winter Carnival, 33 of which will have tickets on sale Dec. 7.
“Returning favourite events do sell out quickly, so don’t be disappointed and buy your tickets early,” said Proulx.
