Urgent Brisbane weather alert: an epic eight-day snowstorm is hitting Fortitude Valley!

50 tonnes of snow? At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of the country? Localised entirely within The Prince Consort?

Break out those retro ski jackets and head down to the iconic Prince Consort from June 25 to July 1 for Snow Week. With 50 tonnes of real snow descending on the venue, this ski trip is way easier on your quads and wallet (but potentially harder on your liver) than any Canadian adventure. 

So leave the passport at home and dive into our top must-see picks:

TITO’S UGLY SWEATER TRIVIA | SATURDAY, JUNE 29

Make Nan’s year and take that ugly sweater she gave you on its maiden voyage to Tito’s Ugly Sweater Trivia. Hosted by the amazing team at Isolation Trivia, the night will be filled with tricky questions, hilarious games and loads of prizes. Plus, if you bag the title of most outrageous outfit, then you’re officially required to give Nan a call and thank her for her ‘fashion sense’.

SNOW QUEEN BINGO | SATURDAY, JUNE 29

This ain’t yo mama’s bingo! Join iconic Brisbane drag queen, Roxanne, as she shows off her ball skills at Snow Queen Bingo. Forget legs eleven and two little ducks and say hello to a boozy Saturday lunch filled with debauchery and innuendos. We highly recommend getting into the spirit with the VIP package, featuring a delightful mix of Aperol spritzes, house wines, refreshing Japanese lagers, and delectable Snow Week grazing plates, all for $65!

CANADA DAY PRE-PARTY FT. SHANIA TWAIN TRIBUTE | SUNDAY, JUNE 30

Man, I feel like a woman! And if you feel like a woman who’d love a night filled with Canadian-inspired food and cocktails, soundtracked by the hits of Canada’s finest export, then have we got a night for you. Secure your table now for the Canada Day Pre Party and from 4pm onwards, enjoy the ultimate Shania Twain tribute by the talented Koby Lee.

CANADA DAY 2024  | MONDAY, JULY 1

O Canada! You may be the home and native land of poutine, beaver tails and maple-glazed burgers, but the Prince Consort Hotel is about to channel all that goodness and more for their epic grand finale. Mark Canada Day on your calendar, and head on down from 11am to enjoy a full day of fun, including 50 tonnes of real snow, Canadian games, trivia and entertainment. In fact, bring the whole family because there’s something for everyone at this family-friendly celebration.

Sounds pretty good eh? There’s also a multitude of other thrilling events at Snow Week, such as Origin in the Snow, the Retro Ski Party, and Blows in the Snow UFC viewing. 

So round up your mates, snag a table, and get ready for a week filled with snow-much fun (see what we did there?)
