Winter Carnival Weekend at Eagle Ridge Resort & Spa

444 Eagle Ridge, Galena, IL 61036
Embrace the spirit of winter at Eagle Ridge Resort and Spa's Annual Winter Carnival, a four-day celebration of all things snow, ice, and frost.
Warm your hearts this Presidents’ Day weekend (February 13–16, 2026) with Eagle Ridge’s annual Winter Carnival -- a four-day celebration of all the seasonal fun.
During the Winter Carnival, guests can enjoy outdoor winter activities at the resort’s Nordic Center, including ice-skating, snowshoeing, and downhill sledding down the 10th hole of the General Golf Course. Warm up by the firepit with hot drinks and take advantage of ski-swing time on the resort’s TrackMan golf simulator.
Indoors and around the resort, there’s family-friendly fun for all ages. Expect wagon rides through the scenic Galena Territory, cozy bonfires with s’mores, an indoor playland and craft room, poolside “Movies & Tubies,” and a hand-carved ice bar serving winter-themed drinks. For the kids (and kids at heart), there are meet-and-greets with “princesses,” caricature artists, and more.
Whether you’re craving outdoor adventure, cozy indoor fun, or a relaxing getaway, Winter Carnival at Eagle Ridge delivers something for everyone.
