Holiday SnowFest will make its debut at Salt River Fields in Scottsdale this holiday season.

The winter wonderland will include an extensive snow village at Salt River Fields, 7555 Pima Road.

Crafted with more than 350 tons of real snow with more than 50 tons of fresh snow added daily by Bucceri Snow Making, Holiday SnowFest is a way to experience classic “snow days” right here in the desert. Yes – it’s real snow.

The snow village will feature a magical tunnel made of more than 100,000 white lights, followed by a 25-foot snowman made completely out of lights. Look also for a 20-foot toboggan hill with a canopy of 50,000 light plus a mini hill for children under four feet; snowman building stations; a snowball throwing contest; and a snow cabin with a 20,000 light show every 30 minutes finishing with real snow falling from the ceiling.

Igloo Bars for all ages will have holiday cocktails for 21+ guests and hot chocolate for kids.

Festivities kick off at 5 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 27, the evening before Thanksgiving, and conclude on Jan. 2.

Holiday SnowFest will be open from noon to 9 p.m. Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays; and noon to 11 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays.

Holiday SnowFest will be closed Mondays and Tuesdays.

General admission starts at $25 for adults and $15 for kids 12 and under. Kids 12 and under are free on Wednesdays.
