406 Winterfest Returns to Bozeman for Year 3 With Ice Rinks, EDM Beats, and a Chili Showdown to Remember

Bundle up, Bozeman 406 Winterfest is sliding back into town and it’s shaping up to be the most electrifying edition yet. Returning for its third year, this high-energy, winter celebration takes over Aspen Street.

Past years brought headliners like Lil Xan and Sky from LMFAO — but this year, we’re turning up the temperature with an epic EDM lineup featuring a national touring headliner and the hottest local DJs in the region.

Here's what else is heating up Winterfest 2026:

• Brand-New Ice Skating Rink
  Lace up and hit the ice! We're debuting a brand-new ice rink with a fundraising twist — benefiting MSU Hockey and the local Bozeman Ice Dogs youth teams. Expect fun games, puck shenanigans, and plenty of cold-weather camaraderie.
• 🌶️ Chili Cook-Off Showdown
  Back by popular demand, the 406 Chili Cook-Off returns with spicy bragging rights on the line. Registration and details drop November 1st 2025
• Live Ice Sculptures + Winter Market
