Palisades Tahoe – Olympic Valley New Year’s Eve 2024

There a lot of fun ways to spend New Year’s Eve here in the greater North Lake Tahoe – Truckee area on Tuesday, December 31, 2024 and here is one of them!

If you are looking for some ways to celebrate and bring in the New Year, check out what is going on at the Palisades Tahoe – Olympic Valley area this year! 

Enjoy their Torchlight (LED) Parade, live music on the KT Deck, followed by their annual fireworks show and an East Coast Balloon Drop at 9 p.m.!

Here is the schedule of the Palisades Tahoe – Olympic Valley New Year’s Eve event:

New Year’s Eve Torchlight Parade and Fireworks Show – Palisades Tahoe Ski Resort 

• 5 p.m. New Year’s Eve Torchlight Parade (Must have pre-registered and purchased tickets to be in the parade) Any view of the ski slope will allow you to see this parade coming down the hill.
• 7 p.m.  Fireworks Show |  The fireworks will start once the light parade is done.  If you have a view of the ski slope, you’ll be able to see the light parade and fireworks show.  That means even from the parking lot, you’ll be able to see the show.  Personally, I recommend being in the KT Deck to hear the live music and watch the action!
• 9 p.m. East Coast Balloon Drop – KT Deck
• Parking – Parking at the Village may have new rules in place, so check this out ahead of time and give yourself plenty of time to park and walk into the event.
• Conditions and Weather Permitting
• Where:  Palisades Tahoe Village Ski Resort | 1960 Olympic Valley Road, Olympic Valley, CA

A few tips if you’re headed to any of our outdoor events:

• Dress Warmly – You’ll want to dress warmly and in layers as you’ll be outside and the weather for New Year’s Eve is expected to be in the mid-’20s!
• Be Early – Parking is always a challenge during our holidays/ski season, and during the Christmas – New Year’s holiday period, we’re at capacity, so allow enough time for parking and finding a good spot to watch the show!  If you are taking the bus, check out the schedules and go for the earlier route.  Events tend to start on time in Tahoe, so give yourself extra travel time and plan to be early.
• Flashlight – Not every place has outdoor lighting at night in our area. Always bring along a small flashlight.  Don’t count on your cell phone flashlight.  You know you’ll take a lot of photos at the event, and that always drains the battery faster, so carry a real flashlight and make it easy to find your way back to the place you are staying at, to your car, or to the bus stop.

There are a few ways to enjoy any of our outdoor New Year Eve events:  

The first is to park and join the other attendees, and enjoy being outdoor, do some people watching, dance to the free live band music and entertainment before and during the light parade, followed by cheering for the fireworks show. 

Or, you can skip the crowds and just watch the light parade and fireworks show from any place in the Olympic Valley area that has a view of the ski runs!

If you see groups out in the parking lot with their camping chairs and blankets by their cars, chances are I’m one of them (yes, I’m that old lady), waiting for the show to begin. 

We do miss the people watching, and the enjoyment that comes from dancing,  live music, and crowds, but the trade-off for us is an easy-in and easy-out and we can bring Finn, our Irish Wolfhound dog with us!

We’ve been watching the firework shows from our car for a few years now and we’ve found good spots in the parking lot (typically at the very back), or anywhere you can see the ski resorts to watch the show.

Regardless of where you watch the light parade and firework shows, you’ll have a good time!

Here are your ski resort North Lake Tahoe – Truckee New Year Eve 2024 event options:

• 5 p.m. Palisades Tahoe Ski Resort Village – Olympic Valley | 5 p.m. LED Torchlight Parade, 7 p.m. Fireworks and at 9 p.m. East Coast Balloon Drop
• 7 – 10 p.m. Northstar California Village – Truckee  | A live band, and festivities in the Northstar Village with a drone show at 9 p.m.

Looking for something more traditional?  There are a number of local restaurants and bars in the area that will also be having special New Year’s Eve events, but if you’re looking for free entertainment these two events are an easy and fun way to bring in the new year!

Remember if you drink, don’t drive.  Check out the Tahoe area bus system  for their expanded night service for a safe ride home.

See you at one of the North Lake Tahoe – Truckee area New Year’s Eve celebrations on December 31, 2024!

Be safe!  Have fun! Happy New Year Everyone!

In my opinion, our holidays (winter and summer) here in the greater North Lake Tahoe – Truckee area are the best!  It’s just one of the many reasons we love living here!

Northstar California – Truckee New Year’s Eve 2024

Can you feel it?  New Year’s Eve in the greater North Lake  Tahoe – Truckee area, Tuesday, December 31, 2024 is almost here!

If you are looking for some ways to celebrate and bring in the New Year, our local ski resorts have some free and fantastic events going on!  

Check out what is going on in the Northstar California Ski Resort area this year! 

Enjoy their activities, which include a live band on the stage by the ice skating rink from 7 – 10 p.m.  with a Drone Show at 9 p.m.! 

If you haven’t seen a drone show yet, you’ll be amazed at what they can do!

Here is the schedule of the Free Northstar California – Truckee New Year’s Eve event:

New Year’s Eve Live Band and Drone Show – Northstar California Ski Resort 

• DJ on the Village state | afternoon 3 p.m. – 6 p.m.
• 360 Video photo Booth by the tree and True North | 6 p.m. – 9 p.m.
• Face painting on the overlook | 6 p.m. – 9 p.m.
• Big Crush on stage | 7 p.m. – 10 p.m.
• Drone Show | 9 p.m.
• Parking – Parking is limited in this area, and there are new rules in place, so plan ahead and give yourself plenty of time to park.
• Conditions and Weather Permitting
• Where:  Northstar California Ski Resort | Northstar Village, Truckee, CA
• Cost:  Free

A few tips if you’re headed to any of our outdoor events:

• Dress Warmly – You’ll want to dress warmly and in layers as you’ll be outside and the weather for New Year’s Eve is expected to be in the mid-’20s!
• Be Early – Finding a spot to sit, or finding a parking is always a challenge during our holidays/ski season, and during the Christmas – New Year’s holiday period, we’re at capacity, so allow enough time for parking and finding a good spot to watch the show!  If you are taking the bus, check out the schedules and go for the earlier route.  Events tend to start on time in Tahoe, so give yourself extra travel time and plan to be early.
• Flashlight – Not every place has outdoor lighting at night in our area. Always bring along a small flashlight.  Don’t count on your cell phone flashlight.  You know you’ll take a lot of photos at the event, and that always drains the battery faster, so carry a real flashlight and make it easy to find your way back to the place you are staying at, to your car, or to the bus stop.

There are a few ways to enjoy any of our outdoor New Year Eve events:  

The first is to park and join the others that have gathered for the event. 

Enjoy the people watching, free music and entertainment before the drone, or fireworks show. 

You can also take a short-cut, and just watch the drone or fireworks show from any place that has a view of the ski runs, or village.

I personally think this is easier to do at Palisades Tahoe than it is in Northstar, but it is an option.

If you see groups out in the parking lot with their camping chairs and blankets by their cars, or on the side of a road, they are waiting for the show to begin.

We do miss the in-person event, the energy, and the craziness that comes with people celebrating.   

There is a certain joy and freedom that you feel at an event with live music, and all that goes with it. 

You just don’t get that out in the parking lot, but the trade-off is an easy-in and easy-out, no large crowds, not a lot of walking, and we can bring Finn, our Irish Wolfhound dog with us in the car!

We’ve been watching the drone shows from our car this past year, and we’ve found if you can find a spot that has a view of the event, you’ll get to see the show.  It is an amazing event to watch what these drones can do in such a close proximity to each other.  If you haven’t seen one in person, I think you’ll enjoy it!

Regardless of where you watch the drone, or firework shows, you’ll have a good time!

North Lake Tahoe – Truckee Ski Resort New Year Eve 2024 event options:

• 5 p.m. Palisades Tahoe – Olympic Valley | 5 p.m. LED Torchlight Parade, live music on the KT deck plaza area, 7 p.m. Fireworks, and at 9 p.m. an East Coast Balloon Drop.
• 7-10 p.m. Northstar California – Truckee  | 7 – 10 p.m. A live band, and festivities in the Northstar Village with a Drone Show at 9 p.m.

Looking for something more traditional?  There are a number of local restaurants and bars in the area that will also be having special New Year’s Eve events, but if you’re looking for free entertainment these three events are an easy and fun way to bring in the new year!

Remember if you drink, don’t drive.  Check out the Tahoe area bus system  for their expanded night service for a safe ride home.
