Lake Havasu City bustling with winter events and mid-70s temps

Winterfest at Lake Havasu City

Lake Havasu City is bustling with snowbirds at this time of year. The campgrounds and RV resorts are full, non-RVing snowbirds have moved into their condos and houses for the winter, and events are in full swing.

One event to mark on your calendar is the 27th Annual Winterfest put on by the Lake Havasu Chamber of Commerce. This year over 40,000 are expected to attend Winterfest to enjoy the daytime temps of 70 to 75 degrees and to visit over 400 booths including more than 200 vendors from around the country.

Vendors display homemade clothing, arts and crafts, jewelry, and fine art from some of the top artists and craftspeople in the West. You will also find booths for Arizona State Parks, service agencies, games for kids, food booths of all kinds, and several musical groups provide continuous entertainment.
