SnowGlobe extended until 2018; Promoter wants to bring three more events to town annually
Submitted by paula on Fri, 07/22/2016 - 10:01pm
The annual SnowGlobe Music Festival is here to stay, at least for now.
During Tuesday's South Lake Tahoe City Council meeting, promoter Chad Donnelly went before the elected officials, asking them for a three year extension of the annual festival until 2019 (though they would ultimately like a deal until 2027), and more money from the City to help with the costs of garbage pick-up and transportation for the three-day event which runs from December 29-31 each year.
What the City gave him was not quite what he was asking for as he got more cash, but less time.
