McCALL WINTER CARNIVAL 2020 EVENTS CALENDAR

McCall Winter Carnival is a tradition for many of us that live in the Treasure Valley. I've heard that the little resort mountain town goes from a population of 2,000 to 20,000 during winter carnival and I'm sure this year will be no exception. The theme for 2020 is "It's a kids world!" and the Carnival is celebrating its 55th year anniversary. The fun is starting January 24th and running through Sunday the 2nd of February.
