Party in true winter style
Sure, Burning Man may have the desert heat, but Igloofest brings the crowds together for an illuminating experience that is the ultimate in chill. There’s few finer ways to spend a winter evening than exploring Igloofest’s installations like the playful Igloovillage, while the eye-popping visuals and epic stages leave just as much of an impression as the music. And where else can you be rewarded for your bulkiest winter wear? The annual tacky snowsuit contest brings the most unforgettable monstrosities in Igloofest fans’ closets out into the open.
