North Lake Tahoe SnowFest – North Lake Tahoe, Ca – 2018 dates TBD

Where else can you and the kidlets paddleboard, eat s'mores, watch a mountain top parade and have a clam bake all in the same weekend? At the 37th Annual North Lake Tahoe SnowFest. Head to the legendary winter vacation destination in early spring for 10 days of fun and festivities. The Bridgetender’s Annual Rib Fest and Tahoe Donner Ididarun (dogs pulling covered wagon sleds) are reason enough!
