This week consists of more than 50 wacky events and parades taking place all across North Lake Tahoe. It is truly a celebration of our amazing March weather and snow pack. Bare your skin in the Gar Wood’s polar bear swim, test your favorite pet in the dog pull race, snowshoe under the moonlight, cheer on your favorite bartender in Pete ‘n’ Peter’s fastest server contest, head to Cal-Neva for battle of the bands, or grab your boards and hit the slopes to see why this festival was created in the first place. This one-of-a-kind winter carnival today serves as a forum for fund raising and educational events for area non-profits. So come join the fun – it’s for a good cause!

One of the largest Nordic ski races west of the Mississippi, this annual event is the main fund raiser for the Tahoe Nordic Search & Rescue Team, a non-profit all-volunteer organization.
