Wrap up January in Owatonna at the 6th Annual Bold and Cold Winter Festival.

Owatonna’s Bold & Cold Events and activities run between January 21st – 26th, 2025. Owatonna Park and Recreation, People’s Press, and Owatonna Businesses partner to present many choices. There is sure to be something for everyone to enjoy.

Enjoy lots of outdoor fun including a medallion hunt, cardboard sled races, ice fishing contest, and more at the Owatonna Bold and Cold Festival! Please note the snow sculpting contest is off for 2025, due to lack of snow.

I will admit that although winter is nice, I have to wear a few layers to really enjoy it. When we attend fun festivals it’s very much worth it to find the layers. 

It just means planning a bit and making sure I can find my favorite wool sweater and wool socks.  Don’t let the snow and cold keep you indoors, we live here so we might as well enjoy it for all that it has to offer.
