March 1st – March 11th, 2018
SnowFest is a North Lake Tahoe tradition that originated in 1982. It is an annual 10-day event that takes place all over North Lake Tahoe with over 100 activities for the whole family and even the family dog. With all the new snow falling this week/weekend, there is much to celebrate in and around Tahoe.
The festival starts off with a bang with fireworks at Commons Beach in Tahoe City on Friday, March 2 at 7:30pm.
On Saturday March 3, the Tahoe City fire station will be hosting a pancake breakfast from 7-11 am before the Tahoe City SnowFest parade which starts at Safeway in Tahoe City and runs through town ending at Save Mart. The notorious Gar Woods 30th Annual Polar Bear Swim will take place at 2:30pm with tons of crazy people braving 39 degree water and snow. Participants swim to the end of the Gar Woods pier and back to shore to try and win a cash prize, but most people just do it for fun. Enjoy the action with a famous Wet Woody or a hot cocoa to keep warm.
Throughout the week the fun doesn’t stop with events like: Pete ‘N Peters Bar Game Olympics, the Eagle Wings Dance Pageant where traditional Native American dances will be re-created and performed, Za’s annual Clam Bake, Bridgetender’s Ribfest and the Wine n’ Ice carving competition just to name a few.
The kids will enjoy meeting the rescue dogs of Squaw Valley, S’more Saturday in Kings Beach, the Snow Sculpture contest at the River Ranch, and the I-Did-A-Run race. Hosted at Tahoe Donner Downhill ski resort, the I-Did-A-Race is for dogs of all shapes and sizes. Dogs pull a covered wagon across a snowy track to raise money for the Humane Society of Truckee-Tahoe.
SnowFest is a perfect way to celebrate all the new snow we have received and to enjoy fun events all around the Tahoe region.
