The Snowking's Winter Festival is an annual festival held each March in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada. The festival is a major winter tourist draw to Yellowknife.

Carvers augment the castle with snow and ice sculptures. Once it is completed, the snow castle becomes the centre of winter arts activity in Yellowknife, including concerts, art shows, theatre and a fireworks show. This year (2007) the castle will include a cafe serving hot drinks and soups and it also boasts the Snowtastic Slide Ride. The castle is bulldozed at the close of each festival, at the end of March. Over the years, the snow castle has hosted six weddings.
