This fun-filled event brings over 1,800 spectators and features entries from over 30 local community organizations and businesses, featuring costumes, floats, and live music. Everyone is encouraged to spend the day in Kings Beach for SnowFest! activities and events.
The small town, big time parade brings smiles and joy as it travels east on Highway 28 along the beautiful north shore of Lake Tahoe. The parade will start at Secline Street and end at Raccoon Street. The announcing stand and judges table will be next to the King Building near the Bear Street Roundabout.
Be advised that Hwy 28 will be closed from the intersection of Hwy 267 to Fox St. during the parade.

Announcing SNOWFEST Parade Grand Marshal, Alex Brambila!
NTBA is honored to present Alex Brambila as the Grand Marshal of the 2025 Kings Beach Snowfest Parade! Alex loves calling Tahoe home! It is a truly beautiful place and after having the opportunity to travel to many places in the past 10 years, Tahoe always rings his bell and calls him home as a special place in his heart. Alex loves his restaurant and being a business owner in the Kings Beach community. He likes being able to walk around town and see familiar faces at his restaurant on a daily basis. Over the years many locals and tourists frequent Las Panchitas for their love of the food, company and the general atmosphere Alex and his team work to curate. The customers at Las Panchitas say they feel like they are at home when they come to the restaurant. Alex said, “The restaurant is not work for me, I enjoy it here.”
