Throughout North Lake Tahoe, shops, resorts, restaurants and other businesses offer specials and happenings to celebrate the event. Each SnowFest offers a seemingly endless array of events including returning favorites as well as new ones. There are parades, races, parties, concerts, theater performances and more.
