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.

Made in Tahoe Festival – Olympic Valley Spring 2025

By

Made in Tahoe Festival – Olympic Valley Spring 2025

It’s late Spring here in the greater North Lake Tahoe – Truckee area and if you are looking for something to do, check out the Made in Tahoe Festival – Olympic Valley Spring 2025, on Saturday, May 24, and Sunday, May 25, 2025 at the Village at Palisades Tahoe!

Our late Spring Early Summer weather is always a guessing game, so I always recommend dressing in layers.  While this weekend will be sunny, with temperatures in the mid-60’s, have a light jacket or sweater is always nice to have if it gets windy, or is overcast.

In the past the items sold are either made in the local Lake Tahoe Basin – greater Truckee area, or they are inspired by our local beauty.

You’ll find this local festival is loaded with arts, crafts, exhibits, music, entertainment, and local food and drink vendors, in addition to the Village restaurants, bars, and shops to choose from, and the admission to the event is FREE!

The Made in Tahoe event use to only happen once a year, but back in 2023, they added a second event. 

Now this event happens twice a year – once in the Spring, and once in the Fall, so you now have two chances to shop local and enjoy being up here in the North Lake Tahoe area.

It’s a great way to find that special gift for that hard-to-please loved-one, or a way to treat yourself, along with supporting Tahoe artisans and businesses!

Along with shopping the vendors, eating and drinking that you can do, you’ll also enjoy listening to variety of local music all day long!

I would expect to find jewelry, paintings, pottery, glassware, clothing, and so much more! You never know what you’ll find at our local fairs and festivals so you won’t want to miss this one.

The Made in Tahoe event will also have a number of local food and beer vendors, so if shopping isn’t your thing to do, but eating and drinking is, then you’ll still have a fun afternoon out!

Here are the event details: 
Made in Tahoe Festival – Olympic Valley May 24 and 25, 2025

  • When: 
    • Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
    • Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
  • Where:  The Village at Palisades Tahoe, 1960 Olympic Valley Road, Olympic Valley, CA 96146

Tahoe City Food and Wine Classic – 2025

By

Tahoe City Food and Wine Classic – 2025

The Summer season is right around the corner and it starts with the 18th Annual Tahoe City Food and Wine Classic – 2025!

You may have know this event as the “Annual Tahoe City Wine Walk”, but was updated a few years ago to be called the “Tahoe City Food and Wine Classic”.

This year, the wine and food tasting event will be held on Saturday, June 7, 2025, between 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. in downtown Tahoe City, California.

This is a great way to start your summer fun here in the greater North Lake Tahoe area, or to just have a get-away weekend here in our beautiful area!

This event continues to grow, and has historically been a sell-out event, so don’t wait to get your tickets!!!

If you enjoy shopping, wine tasting, snacking on delicious food bites, while being outside in beautiful downtown Tahoe City, then this is the perfect event for you to attend!

I have found that getting a group of close friends together to enjoy this event is a great way to catch-up, while enjoying a variety of wines, and disclovering new tasty food bites provided by North Lake Tahoe’s faborite restaurants and caterers!

You don’t have to be a “Foodie” or a “Shopper” to enjoy sampling fine beverages, along with ducking into our local shops.

You’ll want to take advantage of this years’ event specials, sip, sample, and learn more about being in downtown Tahoe City, California by getting your tickets early.

Last year over 800+ Tahoe City Wine Walkers enjoyed this great event!

I can tell you from personal experience the Tahoe City Food and Wine Classic is a lot of fun to go to this event. 

Each year the offering are different.  You never know what the downtown Tahoe City area will have you sample until you spend an afternoon walking from one end to the other.

The annual food and wine event is a fun event to remind you why we love living here in the North Lake Tahoe – Truckee area and what our local downtown area has to offer!

Here are my Tahoe City Food and Wine Classic participant tips from past years that will help you really enjoy the event:

1)     Comfortable Shoes –  Only wear comfortable walking shoes! By the time the day is over you will easily have walked between 1 -2 miles if you hit every station.

2)     Designated Driver – Plan ahead and have a designated driver, or just call a cab to start your trip off right. Other options:  Uber, The bus TART (Tahoe Area Rapid Transit), a friend, or walking to and from your home if you live nearby.  No bikes.  Riding a bike while intoxicated can be just as dangerous as driving a car, and you can be ticketed for it.

3)     Wear Layers & Sunscreen -.  The weather may be sunny, clear skies, or cloudy, rain, and/snow.  You never know in early June, so I recommend dressing in layers and be prepared for Tahoe weather!  You’ll be outside for 3+ hours, so check the weather forecast and give yourself options!

4)     Hydrate –  Drink plenty of water as you go along the way!  It’s fun to sample the wine, beer, or liquor, but before you know it time will have slipped by, so hydrate as you move from stop to stop.

5)     Pace Yourself –  Pacing is the key to a great Tahoe City Wine Walk event.

Remember you’re doing the Tahoe City Food and Wine Classic (walk) at an elevation of 6,200+ feet above sea level, so pace yourself!  Grab a seat whenever possible, drink plenty of water, don’t get too much sun on yourself, and take it easy.  You’ll want to enjoy Sunday as much as you enjoyed Saturday here in North Lake Tahoe!
