Tahoe City Longest Day of the Year June 20, 2025

Tahoe City Longest Day of the Year June 20, 2025

It’s here, the longest day of the year in Tahoe City, California – Friday, June 20, 2025!

It is hard to believe that the longest day of the year has arrived!  Once the day is over, each day will have a little less sunshine until we hit the shortest day of the year, which will happen on Sunday, December 21, 2025!

I love the long, warm, sunshine filled days!  I love summer here in the North Lake Tahoe – Truckee, California area!  It is one of the most beautiful places to enjoy your summer season, and I am grateful to get to have that experience on a daily basis!

The longest day of the year is a reminder that our summer season will not last forever! 

The recent heat wave in late May and in June makes me believe that we will have a longer summer season than we did last year.

On a day like today, I’ll make the time to appreciate the bluest of skies, and warmth of the sun.  I’ll take in the smell of sun tan lotion on others as they walk by, and I’ll remember to take in the pure beauty of our mountains and the cool waters of Lake Tahoe!

Sunrise will be at 5:35 a.m. and the sun will set at 8:30 p.m.  By comparison, on the shortest day of the year for 2025, which is just 184 days away, the sunset will be at 4:41 p.m. almost a four (4) hour difference from the longest day of the year in Tahoe City, California today!

For those of you that long for more sunshine, today is your day! After today, we begin the march towards our winter season and the shortest day of the year.

In the Tahoe City area, that means we lose about two (2) minutes a day of sunshine, yes, I’m rounding up, but that’s what we will lose until the shortest day of the year.  Which means, by July 21, 2025, our days will be about one hour shorter on daylight!

If you are keeping track, or you are just curious, from the longest day of the year, today, to the shortest day of the year, here are dates to keep in mind: 

  • Only 185 days, or 4,440 hours, or 266,400 minutes, from today to the shortest day of the year – Sunday, December 21, 2025! 
  • The 4th of July is only 15 days from today!
  • Labor Day, Monday, September 1, 2025, is only 74 days from today!
  • Ready for the next time change to Fall Back and gain an hour? Sunday, November 2, 2025, is just 136 days away.  
  • The beginning of a new year, Wednesday, January 1, 2026, at the stroke of midnight is right around the corner at 196 days from today!

The passage of time is real, and the sound of my own personal tick-tock of a clock has never been louder.

While I hope the road in front of me is as long as the road behind me (okay just being long would be good), the reality is, making the most of the time we have, right now, should be a personal goal for everyone! 

Now is the time to enjoy your beautiful summer days where ever you are at! 

If you haven’t made your plans to be here in the greater North Lake Tahoe – Truckee area, now is the time to pick a date, plan an adventure, and make some new magical memories!

The greater North Lake Tahoe – Truckee area also offers a number of fun weekly seasonal outdoor events during our warmer months (weather permitting).

Tahoe City Art by the Lake – June 2025

By

Tahoe City Art by the Lake – June 2025

June 2025 is here and our local summer-time outdoor events are beginning!  

Our local events in the greater North Lake Tahoe and Truckee area are the best!  The 15th Annual Tahoe City Art by the Lake event will be held in June of this year marking the beginning of our annual summer events!

The Tahoe area works hard to show-off their artisans, and to provide commercikal seasonal venues for artistic talent to bring out their works for sale.

This local event gives you the opportunity to see over thirty (30+) vendors showcasing a wide variety of custom, handcrafted items. 

In my opinion, one of the best features of this event is the location!  The fine arts and crafts booths are located next to the edge of Lake Tahoe providing a great setting and a unique shopping experience!

Once again the Boatworks Mall in downtown Tahoe City will be the host for this event, and I can’t think of a better way to enjoy an afternoon than by checking out what the professional artists and craftspeople have made.

While summer doesn’t officially begin until the 20th of June, this event on June 13, 14, and 15th, 2025 is going to make you feel that summer has already arrived!

At this year’s art festival you’ll find art, glass work, jewelry, photography, ceramics, and other hand-crafted items.

I have found that as time passes by, the items that I have purchased while traveling, and at these North Lake Tahoe – Truckee, festivals, fairs, and other special events in our area has become a marker of the season, and has become a treasured memory for me.  

After shopping at the arts and crafts fair, perhaps a late lunch, or cool beverage at one of the local restaurants will round out your day.

The Tahoe City Art by the Lake event is free to the public.

Here is the schedule for the event:

Tahoe City Art by the Lake – June 2025:

  • Fine Arts and Crafts Fair – Tahoe City | Friday, June 13, 2025 |  10 a.m. – 5 p.m.
  • Fine Arts and Crafts Fair – Tahoe City | Saturday, June 14, 2025 | 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.  
  • Fine Arts and Crafts Fair – Tahoe City | Sunday, June 15, 2025 |  10 a.m. – 5 p.m.
  • Location:  760 North Lake Blvd., (Lakeside of the Street) Downtown Tahoe City, California
  • 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day 
  • Admission – FREE Sponsored by the Pacific Fine Arts

Check out the Tahoe City Art by the Lake event in downtown Tahoe City at the Boatworks Mall!
