Last Weekend of SnowFest 2018 North Lake Tahoe Snow Festival Fun

It’s the last weekend of SnowFest 2018 North Lake Tahoe Snow Festival fun!

We have two days left of Snowfest 2018 events, and with snow on the ground, it’s time to celebrate our winter season as we move into Spring skiing and start looking ahead to another great summer here in the North Lake Tahoe, California area.

If you’ll be up in the greater Tahoe City – Truckee, North Lake Tahoe, California area you’ll want to take advantage of these last two days of fun events that are scheduled for this weekend.

Today is the annual Kings Beach Parade, which will happen on Saturday, March 10, 2018.

This is small town living at its very best. It is a great reminder that our Tahoe communities have heart and can be seen in the local traditions it celebrates.

A couple of parade watching tips:

Bring your own folding chairs
Arrive early so you can get yourself a good parade watching spot.
Wear sunscreen to protect your skin. The weather is expected to be partly cloudy with sunshine with temperatures in the low 40’s.
Dress in layers so you can adjust to meet the sunshine, shade, and a breeze if we get one.
Bring water
if you bring your Fido, be sure they are on a lease. Remember to bring plastic bags to pick up after them. You should also be prepared for loud noises, so if your pet does not do well in a crowd, or around other animals, leave them in the car, or at home.

On Sunday, March 11, 2018 SnowFest will come to an end and if you haven’t checked out either the Tahoe Donner Iditarun that benefits the Tahoe Truckee Humane Society, or the River Ranch Snow Sculpture Contest in Alpine Meadows, put both on your list to do this year.

There is so much fun just waiting for you here in North Lake Tahoe and SnowFest 2018 is just one of our annual events that keeps bringing people back to our area year-after-year!
