Art and Soul Downtown Truckee ArtWalk - 2018Looking for something fun to do on Saturday, September 15, 2018 in the North Lake Tahoe – Truckee area?

How about the 4th Annual Downtown Historic Truckee Art and Soul ArtWalk!

Fall is in the air, and our late summer fun is still going on in the North Lake Tahoe – Truckee area.

This annual event is a great way to spend an afternoon in our area. This event combines art, live music, artist demonstrations craft beer and wine tastings, along with small tasty bites.  

There will be 30 stops celebrating Truckee’s artist community.  In addition to just having a lot of fun, a portion of the event’s proceeds will go to the Tahoe Truckee School of Music!

Day-time temperatures tomorrow will be in the mid 60’s, so attendees should dress in layers and be prepared to be warm in the sunshine, but it also means that you’ll want a light jacket, or sweater for the shade, or if the wind picks up.  

Those that go will enjoy being in historic Downtown Truckee and they will get the chance to sample some great wines, beer, and food along with interacting with artists, and enjoying live music. 

What a great way to have fun and support the community and all you have to do is buy a Downtown Truckee Wine Walk ticket!

So here are few of my ArtWalk strolling tips to make the most of the event:

  • Dress in layers, and wear comfortable shoes.
  • Have a good lunch and bring along a bottle of water.
  • Pace yourself. Sip, don’t guzzle. You’ll have five hours to enjoy the event.

Labor Day Fireworks at Gar Woods Carnelian Bay – 2018

Labor Day Fireworks at Gar Woods Carnelian Bay – 2018

Labor Day Fireworks at Gar Woods Carnelian Bay - 2018Ready to celebrate the end of summer?  Check out the 6th Annual Labor Day fireworks show at Gar Woods restaurant (Carnelian Bay beaches) in Carnelian Bay, California this Sunday, September 2, 2018.

While the Labor Day weekend is the unofficial end of our summer season, the fireworks event at Gar Woods will send it off with a big beautiful bang!

You may know Gar Woods for their great lakefront restaurant dining, or for their stunning lake views while enjoying your favorite beverage (perhaps their world-famous “Wet Woody” drink).

Now it is known for their spectacular Labor Day fireworks show, and it is a great show!

We’ve gone just about every year, and the show is really good.  

Get there early enough so you can find a parking spot (if you live near-by you can walk), and a good spot on the Carnelian Bay public beaches, or along the Gar Woods pier.   

In the past we’ve brought along our lawn chairs and just sat back and watch the sky light up with color by our car.

At this time of year,  you don’t have the big 4th of July crowds, so it doesn’t take long to find a spot to park, and when it’s over, you won’t spend a lot of time in traffic getting home making this is an easy event to get to and watch.

Labor Day Fireworks at Gar Woods Carnelian Bay - 2018If you want to make an evening out of it, make a dinner reservation at Gar Woods at 530-546-3366 and watch the show from the restaurant!

It may seem that our Lake Tahoe  outdoor fun and events are about to come to an end, but that just isn’t true.

Our fall season is one of the best and with so many upcoming fall events (can anyone say Truckee wine walk, or Oktoberfest?) in September and early October, our Tahoe fun will just come with a light sweater, or jacket!

The fall season in Lake Tahoe is one of my favorite times of the year.  Get ready to make your travel plans to be here in the area to enjoy more of what the greater North Lake Tahoe – Truckee area is known for, an amazing lifestyle!

Here are the Event Details:

Labor Day Fireworks at Gar Woods, Carnelian Bay

  • When: Sunday, September 2, 2018 – Starting at 8:30 p.m. (I’d get there by 8:15 p.m. so you’ll have time to find a parking spot, or get to the beach area and set up. 
    • Dress in layers, our evenings are cooler these days.
    • Bring your own beach chair, or blankets if you are going to be on the beach area.
  • Where:  Gar Wood’s, 5000 North Lake Blvd., Carnelian Bay, CA 96140
  • Best Watching Areas:  The Public Carnelian Beach Area, Gar Woods Pier, Sidewalks, or make dinner reservations at Gar Woods and watch from the restaurant!
  • Cost:  FREE

While the event is free, this is a Fundraiser for the Monte Foundation

  • Gar Woods and The Monte Foundation are hosting this event, which will benefit the North Tahoe sports programs.  

During the evening the North Lake Tahoe student athletes will be selling items to raise money for the North Tahoe Sports Programs, so while the event is free, dig deep and either buy something for sale, or just make a donation!

This just one more fun thing to do here in North Lake Tahoe this weekend!

Don’t miss the fireworks at Gar Wood’s, Sunday, September 2, 2018 in Carnelian Bay, California. Show begins at 8:30 p.m.!

Happy Labor Day Weekend everyone!  Be safe and have fun!
