Due to increasing COVID-19 case counts and positivity rates, diminished hospital capacity, and tighter restrictions on public and private gatherings, the McCall Area Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Bureau has decided to cancel the 2021 McCall Winter Carnival.
Each year, the small town of 3,000 typically welcomes a surge of more than 60,000 people during the 10-day winter jubilee.

“It was an extremely difficult decision and we are deeply disappointed,” McCall Area Chamber spokesperson McKenzie Kraemer says. “The McCall Winter Carnival is not only a fun tradition for many people, but it also provides a large economic boost for our local businesses.”
