SnowBall Fam —
It is with a heavy heart that we can confirm SnowBall will unfortunately not be returning for 2016. Despite our best efforts and thorough exploration and evaluation of all potential options for a new home, we ultimately did not find a location that we felt perfectly synched with the experience and environment that is central to our festival’s spirit. Per your feedback, creating an authentic SnowBall experience remains our top priority, and until we find our perfect match we will wait to make our triumphant return.
Thank you for your patience as we work towards putting together our best SnowBall yet.
2016 had been poised to mark the cold-weather festival’s return to its initial home in the mountains. Snowball was ousted from its Avon, CO home in 2012 after racking up in its second year. In 2013, it moved to a short-lived Winter Park location before wedging into of Mile High Stadium the following year — about its as possible.
After cancelling last year’s event, Snowball had assured fans it would return in 2016 somewhere in the Colorado mountains Here’s hoping 2017 is kinder to the wayward music festival.
