This Week in Sandpoint

What's the buzz in Sandpoint? The week begins Thurs, Feb. 12, with a $5 screening of The Royal Tenenbaums, paired with a student art show that blends indie film and local creativity. Festivities ramp up Fri, Feb. 13, as the Winter Carnival officially kicks off, launching a 10-day celebration filled with illuminated parades, street parties, fire performances, and the start of a lively holiday weekend on the mountain. On Sat, Feb. 14, Valentine's Day adds a romantic layer with themed specials around town, a winter farmers' market pop-up, live music, and a showing of the classic love story The Notebook. The weekend wraps up Sun, Feb. 15, with mountain parades and fireworks, a refined Winter Serenade, and a high-energy concert with Float Like a Buffalo. Winter Carnival events continue throughout the following week, keeping the town busy well beyond the weekend.
