Every spring since 1982, North Lake Tahoe and Truckee have come alive with 10 fun-filled days and nights of events and activities for all ages. This year’s SnowFest! is from Feb. 28 to March 10 with on-snow events, special events, races, parties, dancing and more.
The kickoff party and coronation of the SnowFest! Queen on Feb. 28 will begin the celebrations, followed by fireworks on Commons Beach in Tahoe City on March 1. Popular events such as the Polar Bear Swim, Pete ‘n Peter’s Bar Olympics and the Truckee River Winery Ice-Carving Contest are back. Get your dog in on the fun with the Dress Your Dog contest, the Dog Pull or the Tahoe Donner I-did-a-run.
Parades flank both ends of SnowFest! Tahoe City’s parade is on March 2 and Kings Beach’s parade is on March 9. Both are kicked off with a pancake breakfast from the local fire firefighters; both begin at 11:30 a.m. A full schedule and description of events are online. | tahoesnowfest.org
