Get ready for the ultimate winter celebration as North Lake Tahoe SNOWFEST returns from Feb. 26 to March 9, 2025. As the largest winter mountain festival on the West Coast, SNOWFEST promises more than 50 incredible events, community fun and a fireworks show.
For 43 years, SNOWFEST has been a cherished tradition, bringing together locals and visitors to celebrate winter in true Tahoe fashion. From vibrant nightlife to family-friendly outdoor activities, this 12-day festival showcases the unique spirit of North Lake Tahoe while supporting local nonprofits, student organizations and public programs.
SNOWFEST packs its schedule with a variety of exciting events, ensuring there’s something for everyone. Festivalgoers and families alike can enjoy the SNOWFEST Street Faire Tahoe City, participate in the AdventureSmith Alaskan Open Snow Golf Tournament, the popular Milk Jug Curling, or cheer on furry friends at the Dog Pull at Pete ‘n Peters.
Thrill-seekers can brave the icy waters of the Gar Woods Polar Bear Swim, while families can start their day at the Firefighter Association Pancake Breakfast. Capping off the celebration is North Lake Tahoe’s only fireworks display, plus dozens of other community gatherings and festivities.
