SnowGlobe is a sister festival to the SnowBall event held last year in Avon, Colo. The city of South Lake Tahoe has been courting the idea of hosting a winter festival for some time, said spokeswoman Nancy Kerry, who went to see the festival in Colorado last year.

and#8220;This is part of the city's new initiative to attract big events,and#8221; Kerry said.

SnowGlobe is branded as a winter-themed event and organizers are ensuring festivalgoers get a true winter experience. Though there will be some tented space, much of the festival will be outside, regardless of the weather.

Attendees are recommended to dress warm. A shuttle from the Stateline area will run back and forth between the LTCC site and Stateline throughout the festival.
