Come for the party, stay for the snacks

As Festival du Voyageur celebrates 50 years of merry making, revelers are flocking to Fort Gibraltar for one extended kitchen party after the other. Heart-pounding live music, soaring snow sculptures and ripping-fast toboggan rides—it can certainly work up an appetite.
