Steamboat is known for its skiing and riding and also all the amazing winter events we have. Let us tell you about our top 5 picks for winter events in Steamboat Springs:
1. Winter Carnival
The Winter Carnival celebration includes a variety of events that embrace Steamboat's western heritage and highlight our tradition of winter sports. This unique event includes everything from kids pulled on skis behind horses down a snow-covered main street, to the Lighted Man at the Night Show Extravaganza whose battery-powered suit weighs 70 pounds.
2. New Years' Eve Celebration
Celebrate the new year in style! Kick-off the evening with a Light Up Snow Cat parade featuring Steamboat Snow Sports Instructors performing synchronized skiing illuminated only by the light of torches. At the conclusion of the parade, fireworks will light up the sky over the resort to ring in the new year.
3. Music Fest
Every year, thousands of music fest fans gather for the Steamboat Musicfest that compiles the best Texas and Americana music for your enjoyment. Otherwise known as Texas week- get ready for some rip roarin' fun and a lot of amazing music!
4. Winter Wonder Grass
The WinterWonderGrass Festival delivers an authentic Colorado gathering celebrating bluegrass and craft beer. The festival features more than 20 bands and local breweries over three days
5. Springalicious
The Steamboat Ski Area celebrates the close of the winter season with a multi-week festival including a boatload of Springalicious® festivities, fun events such as the Cardboard Classic, and several FREE music concerts.
Don't miss the Pond Skim, a hilariously wet event that closes out the season with lots of laughs. The Cardboard Classic is a wild and hilarious race that features homemade cardboard crafts, constructed only from cardboard, glue, string, water-based paint, duct tape, masking tape, balloons, and other decorations, racing down Stampede to a hysterical finish. The uniqueness and creativity of the race make it an event looked forward to each year.
