Tahoe City Oktoberfest – 2023

Tahoe City Oktoberfest - 2023

Looking for some fall fun?

If you answered yes, then you’ll want to check out the Tahoe City Oktoberfest in Tahoe City on Saturday, October 23, 2023.

It’s time to get dressed up in your Lederhosen and enjoy a fun fall weekend here in Tahoe City at Oktoberfest – 2023! 

This event has been held in several different locations over the years, including the Cobblestone Mall, the Gatekeeper’s Museum (also known as Layton Park), and at Commons Beach.

This year, you’ll find this classic fall event at the Gatekeeper’s Museum (Layton Park), right next door to the Truckee River Outlet on CA Highway 89 South, across from the Bridge Tender restaurant!

Things have cooled down here in the Tahoe City area, and it does feel like Fall has arrived!

The leaves are turning color, and the temperatures in Tahoe City will only be in the 60’s this weekend, so if you are looking for that change in the season from summer to fall, you’ll feel that change here in the greater North Lake Tahoe area this weekend!

I can’t think of a better way to spend a sunny Saturday afternoon than by being by the edge of Lake Tahoe in downtown Tahoe City, Calfornia!

Add in listening to live music, having an ice cold beer, and watching those who are brave enough to dress up in Bavarian themed clothing just adds to the fun!

In addition to live music, beer on tap, games, there will also be brats and other German BBQ food items to puchase.

Even if beer and brats aren’t your thing, just spending the afternoon outside here in Tahoe City is a winning ticket!

Here are the details of the

Tahoe City Oktoberfest – 2023:

  • When: Saturday, September 23, 2023 |  Starting at 12 noon to 5 p.m.

If you love Lake Tahoe, German food, beer, wine, music, and games (Can you say weiner toss?), you’ll enjoy your day at the Tahoe City Oktoberfest.

Tahoe Backyard Makers Market 2023

By

Tahoe Backyard Makers Market 2023

Tahoe Backyard Makers Market Kings Beach 2023Labor Day has come and gone, and as our Fall weather sets in, you’ll have one last chance to check out the Tahoe Backyard Makers Market 2023, in Kings Beach, California this Saturday, from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., September 9, 2023.

This is the last weekend for this season, and it’s your chance to find that special gift among the art and crafter booths for that special someone on your list, or to find something just for you!

Maybe you just want to get out and about and enjoy something to drink, can you say craft brews?  Or just get a bite to eat, while enjoying some local entertainment and doing some people watching. 

It doesn’t matter what your reason is, this local event is fun and easy to enjoy!

Our weather is expected to be sunny, with temperatures in the high 60’s low 70’s, but once the sun goes behind a cloud, or beings to set, or as the evening comes on, it will cool off quicky, so wear layers and make sure to have a light jacket or sweater!

This event, unlike many of our local Kings Beach events, which happen on Main street, this one is at 8428 Trout Avenue, which is right behind the Bank of the West Building, that you’ll see on the main street in downtown Kings Beach, but is right behind it.

I like this local event as many of the items sold are often made right here in the Lake Tahoe Basin – greater Truckee area, or they are inspired by our local beauty by a vendor who lives near our area.

While it pains me to say this, the holidays and gift giving season is right around the corner, and this may be an opportunity to find a gift for that hard-to-please friend, or a way to treat yourself  along with supporting small businesses and artisans!

Here are the event details: 
Tahoe Backyard Makers Market 2023

  • When: 
    • Saturday, September 9, 2023
    • 3 p.m. – 7 p.m.
  • Where:  8428 Trout Avenue (Behind the Bank of the West Building) Kings Beach, CA

Kings Beach Music on the Beach Lights in the Sky Event – 2023

UPDATE:  Due to bad weather the drone show event has been postponed and has been rescheduled with a different band for the live music portion followed by the drone show on Friday, September 8, 2023.  Same event times and location as the original evet.  See Details on the event below:

It’s Labor Day weekend, and it’s hard to believe our beatiful, warm summer days will become shorter, and colder, as we gear up for another epic winter season of fun!

This year, the North Tahoe Community Alliance (NTCA) decided to celebrate the end of the North Lake Tahoe summer season with a live music concert on the sandy beaches of Lake Tahoe followed by a custon drone light show!

The North Lake Tahoe – Truckee area is an amazing place to live and visit!  We are so lucky to have so many great free, outdoor events, and celerating the end of summer is a must!

While this is the last live Kings Beach music concert event of the summer 2023 season, the addition of the drone (300 drones) light show is a great way to kick-off the holiday weekend.

Kings Beach Music on the Beach Lights in the Sky Event - 2023This event will be at the Kings Beach State Recreation Area and is sponsored by the North Tahoe Business Association and local businesses.

The fun begins around 6 p.m. with food, beer, wine, and soda – (no outside alcohol. or pets), available for purchase and the music will start around 6:30 p.m.

Listen, dance, or just relax on the sandy beaches in Kings Beach and then be prepared to see what these drones can do! 

We saw the drone light show in downtown Tahoe City over the 4th of July, and while we had seen a drone show on TV, seeing the action live, and in person is impressive!

Event organizers have done a great job in making this year a great one, and this last event on Friday, September 1, 2023, will be a special one for you!

Here are details for this event:

Kings Beach Music on the Beach Lights in the Sky Event – 2023

When:  Opens at 6 p.m. – 9 p.m. Music begins at 6:30 | Drone show about 9 p.m., but I’d be there by 8:30 p.m. to make sure I had a good spot to see the show.

  •      September 1, 2023  |   GroveSession
    •      Immediately after the live music there will be a drone light show celebrating the end of the summer music concert series.  The time for this last event will be 6 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. – dress warmly, and bring blankets!

Kings Beach Concert Goer Tips:

  • Bring blankets, sleeping bags, beach mats, and beach towels if you’re going to sit on the beach or grass.

  • Bring Water.  Even with beverages for sale, you’ll still want to stay hydrated!
