Palisades Tahoe

If you have yet to experience one of the West’s finest slope-side festivals, now is the time to do so. It’s an ultimate spring weekend of music, camaraderie and crazy outfits that bring it all together.

What’s different about this festival than others is the organizer’s mission and spirit to blend community, culture and concerts into one extremely well-produced weekend of fun and festivities.

Here’s how they describe WinterWonderGrass:

“We aim to cultivate and nurture the relationship between nature, authentic music, and communal family, creating a vehicle for inspiration. When we come together with open hearts and open minds, bringing all of our differences and unique opinions, we begin to dissolve the illusion of separation from one another.”
