Ely Winter Festival Cam

We're having some technical issues with this cam, sorry for the inconvenience...should know more soon!

Canoe Country Outfitters www.canoecountryoutfitters.com is sponsoring this new Ely Winter Festival Cam. They are permitting us to place the cam on their building across from Whiteside Park. If you like this cam and would like to see the Blueberry Festival, held in the same Park, from this vantage point, be sure to let Mark and Bob Olsen of Canoe Country Outfitters and know how much you appreciate this view.

The Ely Winter Festival is synonymous with snow carvings around the city and in Whiteside Park. This cam gives and excellent view of a number of snow carvings and will be visible day and night thanks to the low light capability of the new high resolution cams www.elyminnesota.com uses.

New to the Ely Winter Festival? Watch the snow carvings change over the next few weeks, now they are just snow in wooden forms, then the forms come down and the carvers begin their magic, then, the sculptures will appear to change depending on the time of day, the amount of light creating shadows, depth, and contrast to the artist’s creations.

Capture an image you see on the cam and send it to We will be posting the best images captured on our website for others to enjoy throughout the year. We will be very interested to see where you will be when you capture the images you like best. By the way, if you are new to capturing images on the web, all you have to do is right click on the image then click “Save As” and then name your image if you don’t want to use the default name. That’s all there is to it. Then attach the image to an email message. Tell us as much about your experience as you like. We will be happy to hear from you.

The Ely Winter Festival schedule can be seen on the Events Calendar.
