Simi Valley SnowFest Brings Sledding and Snow Play to Rancho Madera Park November 1

SIMI VALLEY, Ventura County — Families can experience a winter-style play day without leaving Simi Valley as SnowFest 2026 is scheduled for Sunday, November 1, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., at Rancho Madera Community Park.

The city tourism calendar lists sledding, snow-play areas, children’s attractions, a vendor expo and food vendors at the event. It is a seasonal recreation program rather than a weather forecast: manufactured or transported snow-play activities do not mean snow is expected in the valley.

Wristbands and location

Visit Simi Valley advertises $20 wristbands per person, available for advance purchase to reduce time waiting to enter attractions. Families should check the event organizer’s conditions for participating children, available activities and remaining tickets before traveling; the posted price does not automatically establish unlimited access to every vendor or purchase.

The destination is Rancho Madera Community Park, 556 Lake Park Drive, Simi Valley, CA 93065. Visitors should expect a family-oriented crowd and check the organizer’s parking and accessibility information before arrival.

The date is November 1, 2026. This article is an advance or same-day event guide, not a claim about attendance, conditions or results after the event.
