SnowFest 2026 – Cool City Vibes is a Wrap
SnowFest 2026 Cool City Vibes is a wrap. For three days in July music, food, art, and family fun to the heart of Neshotah Park, drawing both residents and visitors for a weekend packed with a celebration of SNOW! Two Rivers proved why it is the “Coolest Spot in Wisconsin.”
Friday Night Fun
Beautiful weather throughout the weekend helped to bring out a record crowd to the event. The music and fun kicked off on Friday with Jordan Blanchard and Smoke Road packing the music tent with a fun crowd that even a little power outage couldn’t stop. The kid’s area was hopping from the start of the night with a demonstration from the Two Rivers Robotics Team, K-9 demonstrations from the Two Rivers Police Department, carnival games, food, fun, a wintry photo booth, the popular toilet paper toss and endless inflatable jumping.
Saturday Parade & Park Festivities
Saturday morning’s SnowFest Parade rolled down a new route on Garfield Street that was packed with smiling faces, music, fun, and of course SNOW! The SnowFest float featured Chiller doing his best Evil Knevil on his motorcycle popping wheelies. People in the park following the parade were entertained by the music of Two Rivers High School, Valders High School and Roncalli High School bands doing their favorite music for the crowd that gathered. Six float entries took home trophies for outstanding creativity.
After the parade, Neshotah Park buzzed with activity—vendor booths, sizzling burgers, brats, and cheese curds from the SnowFest food tent, plus an array of food trucks. Entertainment highlights included the whimsical Bombastic Bubble Show, Winter Crafts, Cool Chemistry, other activities and all-day carnival fun. The Two Rivers Historical Society served Cedar Crest ice cream, while Gracious Givers of Manitowoc tempted visitors with fresh-baked treats.
The Seehafer News Stage lineup featured Listening Party, Suzie and the Detanators, The Nix and the night was closed out by Wet Possum to an awesome crowd!
Sunday’s Grand Finale
Sunday began warm and humid, a perfect wind down day from a busy start to the event. KLK (Koepke/LaForce/Kimmes) provided their soulful start to the afternoon which was closed out in a chill summer fashion by Whole Yachta Love.
The family zone stayed lively with bingo, snowball fights, inflatables, the vendor fair, balloon animals from Jean’s Balloon Animals, and a hands-on wildlife experience from the Lincoln Park Zoo.
