Maine's Capital Area

The Camden Snow Bowl and the Event Committee are thrilled again to be bringing another great three-day weekend of outdoor fun, activities, camaraderie and spirited competition to the Midcoast. Camden will again host teams and spectators from all over the country for a weekend dedicated to the zany sport of traditional wooden toboggan racing. We hope you have a great time while you are here, that you enjoy all that Camden has to offer during the weekend, and that you stay warm and have a safe time outdoors.

The original toboggan chute dates back to 1937, and in 1991 it was officially dedicated as the Jack R. Williams Toboggan Chute and the first U.S. National Toboggan Championships were held, an event created by then-Camden Parks and Recreation Director Ken Bailey. In 2015, the Toboggan Championships celebrated 25 years

Still going strong, the annual “Toboggan Nationals” boasts a field of 425 teams, nearly 1,300 racers and more than 6,000 spectators for three days of events! This sell-out event makes the Ragged Mountain Recreation Area the most popular place to be in the Midcoast each February.

It’s a Mardi Gras theme this year, so bring your “Big Easy” costumes and regalia for another long weekend of toboggan racing at dazzling speeds. The Town of Camden also offers fireworks, a snowplow parade, downtown dancing and more downtown during Toboggan National weekend. The full Winterfest and Toboggan Nationals schedules are included below.
