Penticton's newest winter tradition is set to be bigger and better in 2025.

Frost Fest, now with Valley First serving as the title sponsor, returns to Gyro Park from Jan. 17 to 19.

A movie night, hot air balloon glow-up display over Okanagan Lake, and skating with the Penticton Vees are among the new festivities planned this January.
