The annual Kings Beach Snowfest Parade will take place on Saturday, March 5 from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. along Highway 28 starting at Secline Street and ending at the Raccoon Street roundabout.
This fun-filled event will feature creative and entertaining entries from over 20 community nonprofit organizations, governmental agencies, service groups, and local businesses. There will be an announcing stand in front of the King Building on Highway 28 at the Bear Street roundabout. The parade will take place snow, rain, or shine.
