SnowFest 2025 – North Lake Tahoe
Get ready for the Annual SnowFest 2025 North Lake Tahoe Area Snow Festival
This year SnowFest 2025 will start on Wednesday, February 26, 2025, and end on Sunday, March 9, 2025.
Ten days of winter fun in the greater North Lake Tahoe area with fifty (50) mountain-town events!
Snow festival event planners and volunteers work all year long to make this winter experience one of the very best and it is an event that should be on your calendars!
It is hard to believe that our winter season is about to begin to wind down, and it is even harder to believe that this is the 43rd Annual Event!
Yes, this event has been around since the spring of 1982, and it is still going strong over four+ decades later in 2025!
While the North Lake Tahoe SnowFest event has become one of the largest winter carnival events in the western United States, it really represents the best of small town living!
I think one of its best features is how they combine fun events and activities with local fund-raisers for our local organizations that do so much for our community.
I am a big fan of SnowFest and I hope you get the chance to come up and enjoy some local Tahoe fun too!
If you haven’t been to any of the North Lake Tahoe Snowfest events in the past, now is the time to make plans to be here!
