Squaw - Alpine Freedom Fest Returns July 3-7
Coming off a record-breaking season—with a total of 682 inches of snowfall so far—Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows is bringing a taste of winter to the Fourth of July. Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows received more snow than any other resort in the country this season, and guests will be skiing and riding well into the summer, with a projected closing date of July 7 at Squaw Valley and the return of Freedom Fest on July 4-6.
]Freedom Fest brings together the best of summer and winter: skiing and riding during the heart of the summer, daily live music performances, pool & hot tub parties and spectacular fireworks. There is nothing quite like donning your most patriotic garb and taking some turns at 8,200’ feet on a day usually reserved for backyard barbecues and beaches. World-renowned Paul Oakenfold will bring his legendary musical performance to the KT Deck for a family event on Friday, July 5, accompanied by dazzling laser lights and culminating in a festive fireworks display. For over three decades, Oakenfold has elevated and shaped an entire genre and remains one of the leading forces in the global music scene today. Bring the whole family out for this all-ages event—grab lawn chairs and blankets to spread out on the grass, take in the music and watch fireworks streak across the night sky.
