WinterFest will be arriving at six mountain destinations across the U.S. this winter.

Alan Bethke, Senior Vice President, Marketing at Subaru of America, Inc.: "WinterFest is one of our most highly anticipated events of the year, and we look forward to bringing the experience to some of the coolest mountain locations again this winter.

Headlining artists including Grace Potter, The National Parks, The Travelin' McCourys, Ashes to Amber, Shadowgrass, Into the Fog and more are set to perform this season's tour along with incredible supporting acts.

"We're thrilled to join forces once again with Subaru for the WinterFest series, promising attendees an unforgettable event this season," said Meghan Matschke, Vice President of Partnerships at POWDR. "With an impressive lineup of musicians, activations with leading outdoor brands, and a deep commitment to the community, excitement is at an all-time high. Get ready to carve unforgettable memories with us on the slopes!"

As part of its commitment to being "More Than a Car Company," WinterFest attendees who complete a lead form will be able to choose a non-profit charity partner for Subaru to make a $5 donation on their behalf, up to $10,000 per charity over the course of the tour.

There will also be a Solo Stove Hangout Zone at every stop for guests to warm up by the fire and roast marshmallows for s'mores in the afternoon.
