Ignite Your Winter!

January 31 & February 1, 2026

Join us at the Alton Mill’s 16th annual Fire & Ice Festival presented by TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley— a high-energy winter celebration packed with live outdoor fire performances, ice carving, skating on the millpond, cozy food + drink, family activities, and magical moments around every corner.

Wander the historic grounds as flames dance, ice glimmers, and the whole village comes alive with music, laughter, and winter cheer. Whether you’re here for the thrills, the chill, or a little bit of both, this is the winter experience you won’t want to miss.
