The Snow Festival in Naples is one of Southwest Florida’s most popular events, hosted by the Collier County Parks & Recreation Department for over 30 years. It brings the excitement of real snow to sunny Florida.
Established in 1985, the event was created to give the community the unique thrill of playing in snow in 80-degree weather. What started with just a few tons of snow has grown into a major regional event.
Today, the festival attracts more than 15,000 visitors each year and offers fun activities for all ages. Guests can play in the snow, slide, and enjoy a rare winter experience in a tropical setting.
The contrast between warm weather and snowy fun makes this event truly unique and memorable.
Snow Festival Naples is a one-of-a-kind event that brings winter magic to Florida’s sunshine—perfect for families and visitors alike.
