The WinterWonderGrass Tahoe Festival, originally set for April 4-6, 2025 at Palisades Tahoe, has been cancelled.

The annual ski and music gathering featuring The Infamous Stringdusters may return in 2026 after a year of “review and reorganization.” The event, which began in 2015, faced rising costs at the Lake Tahoe area location.

The original WinterWonderGrass in Steamboat, CO is not affected by the California cancellation and will continue as planned February 28–March 2, 2025.
