Snowfest is back for its 44th rendition — and it’s better than you’d ever think it could be.
The 44th annual North Lake Tahoe Snowfest returns Feb. 26 to March 8 for all its activities, events, tomfoolery, and fun.
What started out in the early ’80s as a winter festival to entice tourists to continue taking ski trips into March (visits dropped way off after February) and to throw a party has evolved into 10-plus days of the community getting together for good times.
It all commences in grand fashion Thursday, Feb. 26, with Gar Woods’ annual kick-off party, where local legends The Blues Monsters (with Kendall Naughton) will get the dance floor going, the Wet Woodies will be flowing, and the Snowfest scholarship candidates — two local high school seniors recognized for their contributions to area nonprofits — will be introduced.
