The Winter Glow: Snow Machine Rental in San Antonio

Our Snow Machine Rental is one Antari S-500 snow machine with enough snow fluid for about 2 hours of snow. We drop it off and walk you through it, then you run it. Extra snow fluid is available by the hour, and a refundable equipment security deposit is held separately from your reservation deposit. The Snow Machine Rental is coming soon. Call or text (210) 471-8797 to reserve.

For tree lightings, HOA and community holiday events, church events and bigger crowds, the Winter Glow Experience is run by River City. It is quote only: we do a site evaluation first, then quote it for your venue, timing and layout. Use the Winter Glow quote form on this page or call or text (210) 471-8797.

The Winter Glow is a manufactured snowfall effect made by a snow machine. It is not real snow. It does not pile up, so there's no sledding, no snowballs and no snowmen. It's a falling-snow look for photos, countdowns and big moments.

• Outdoor use only.
• Not in rain or in wind over 15 mph.
• Keep the snow away from cars and pools.

• Christmas party snowfall in a backyard, driveway or patio.
• Tree lighting countdowns: start the snow when the lights come on.
• HOA and church holiday events (staffed Winter Glow Experience, quote only).
• Winter wonderland birthday parties.
• Holiday photo ops for families, classes and groups.

Start with a bounce house and add the snow. Any of our 13x13 bounce houses (Rainbow 13x13 Bounce House, Carnival Bullseye 13x13 Bounce House or Pink Princess Tiara 13x13 Bounce House) can take a themed front panel: Winter Wonderland Theme Panel, Merry Christmas Theme Panel or North Pole Theme Panel. A panel is a vinyl art panel that attaches across the front at setup (one per bounce house). It's a compatible 13x13 bounce house with a themed panel, not a sculpted inflatable. River City setup space for each 13x13 is about 19' x 19'.

Winter Wonderland panels need to be on the order at least 10 days before your event. Christmas panel dates are shown on each panel's booking page.
