Snowfest is Muskegon’s only full-scale winter festival — and in 2026, it’s celebrating 40 incredible years of community, tradition, and winter adventure!

Hosted by JCI Greater Muskegon, Snowfest brings downtown to life during the winter season with signature events like:

• Battle of the Bowls – Soup & Chili Cook-Off
• Community Cornhole Tournament
• Volleyball Tournament
• New surprise events added every year

Snowfest is more than a festival — it’s the largest annual fundraiser for JCI Greater Muskegon and a huge boost for downtown small businesses during the winter months.
