Bariloche National Snow Festival | San Carlos De Bariloche
Celebration
Every winter, Bariloche hosts one of Patagonia's most traditional and anticipated events—the National Snow Festival. Music, performances, delicious food, family-friendly activities, and the city's stunning snowscapes create a unique festive atmosphere for winter visitors to Bariloche.
The celebrations kicked off on Thursday, August 13th, in Porto San Carlos with a traditional cake competition. On the same day, local artists performed on the main stage in the Civic Center and showcased the candidates for the Snow Queen. A highlight came in the evening with the traditional torch-lowering ceremony on Cathedral Hill, featuring special displays including laser lights, map projections, and a headlining DJ performance.
