When: March 3 to 12

As far as California goes, it doesn’t get any better than North Lake Tahoe during the Winter or this snowy mountain town’s annual SnowFest! In its 36th year in 2017, the family-friendly festival includes almost 100 parades, laser shows, fireworks, concerts, parties, sport competitions, and other events; the schedule changes slightly each year, but past favorites include the Dog Sled Pull, Polar Bear Swim, Wine N’ Ice, and Winter Wonder Film Festival.
