We cannot wait to celebrate the return of Snowfest 2020 August 15-16, 2020. Being able to get together while staying apart a bit in this time is something that everyone can look forward to. While it might look a little different from the original, the spirit of Snowfest is ready to return to Two Rivers.
One of the many things that Snowfest has been known for has been great music and the return of Snowfest is no different. We are excited to welcome 10 different musical acts back to Two Rivers as part of Snowfest 2020. The music will kick off Friday night August 14th in support of the 20th Annual Cool City Car Classic and will continue through the rest of the weekend at Walsh Field for Snowfest 2020! We want to give you a change to learn more about all of the music that will return to Two Rivers this August. Without further ado…..away we go!
