Palisades Tahoe – Olympic Valley New Year’s Eve 2024

By

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:

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

By

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:

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.

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

Kings Beach Music on the Beach Lights in the Sky Event – 2024

By

Kings Beach Music on the Beach Lights in the Sky Event – 2024

The end of our summer season is here!  Yes, it’s Labor Day weekend, and it’s hard to believe our beautiful, warm summer days have become shorter, and as we learned last week, colder, as we gear up for another epic winter season of fun!

Once again, 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 custom drone light show!

While this is the last live Kings Beach music concert event of the summer 2024 season, the addition of the drone (300 drones) light show is a great way to kick-off the holiday weekend and celebrate what hopefully was a great summer!

This 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 – 2024

Where:  Kings Beach State Recreation Area | 8318 North Lake Blvd., Kings Beach, CA 96143

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 before 8:30 p.m. to make sure you have a good spot to see the show.

  •      August 30, 2024  |   Bicicletas Por La Paz
    •  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:

  • Only Low Back Chairs.  If you bring a high-backed chair, be prepared to be on the side of the group, and at the back.
  • Bring blankets, sleeping bags, beach mats, and beach towels if you’re going to sit on the beach or grass. 
  • In late August – September, our evenings are cool, so dress warm, or in layers so as the sun sets, you’ll have a jacket to put on to keep you warm!
  • Bring Water.  Even with beverages for sale, you’ll still want to stay hydrated!
  • No dogs are allowed at the Kings Beach State Recreation area, so plan ahead for a doggie sitter at home! 
  • No outside food or beverage (must be 21+ years or older for adult beverages).
  • The fun starts around 6:00 p.m. so come early for a good seat and enjoy some people watching before the concert begins!
  • This is a FREE event and it is appropriate for all ages!
  • All events are subject to weather permitting and safety protocol conditions.

Tahoe City 4th of July Celebration – Drone Show 2024

By

Tahoe City 4th of July Celebration – Drone Show 2024

The greater North Lake Tahoe – Truckee area is the place to be for the 4th of July!

It’s a holiday week here, and as the temperatures go up, so does the fun in our area!

Looking for a place to see the holiday fireworks?  We’ve had some changes here in the greater North Lake Tahoe – Truckee area when it comes to the traditional fireworks  show, and there is a new twist on this old favorite!

The Annual Tahoe City Fireworks Show in downtown Tahoe City on Commons Beach this Thursday, July 4th, 2024 will be a drone show over the lake. 

As an FYI – If you are looking for information on the 3rd of July in Kings Beach, California (all-day event with Fireworks), that event is no longer being held and they are doing more events over the Labor Day weekend.

Our traditional summer Tahoe City ireworks show has been replaced by a Drone Show over Lake Tahoe.  The decision was made to be more environmentally friendly to Lake Tahoe and to replace the traditional fireworks show with a reusable Drone Show event, so it’s time to embrace the technology!

We’ve seen both live fireworks and the drone show.  Both are impressive for different reasons.  If you check out the drone show you will be impressed by the technology, and it will be a memory to hold onto as time moves forward!

The 4th of July Tahoe City festivities will have the same format as the past traditional fireworks program, just a differnt way to light up the sky.   

An all-day celebration!  Here is the line-up of activities for the downtown Tahoe City Commons Beach 4th of July Celebration:  

  • 7 a.m. to 11 a.m.  Farmers Market
  • Food Trucks All Day
  • 12-2pm: Lazar
  • 1 p.m. -4 p.m. Face Painting and Temporary Tattoos
  • 2 p.m. – 4 p.m. Disco Terrorist
  • 2 p.m. – 4 p.m.  Bubble Show and Hula Hoops
  • 4 p.m. – 6 p.m. Funksalot
  • 5 p.m. – 8 p.m.  Face Painting
  • 6 p.m. – 8 p.m. Zebuel
  • 8 p.m. – 10 p.m. All Good Funk Alliance
  • 9:15 LED Laser and Glow Show 
  • 9:30 p.m.  Tahoe City Drone Show
  • 9:45 p.m. Closing DJ and Announcements
  • 10 p.m.  4th of July Celebrations Conclude

For more information check out the Tahoe City Downtown Association Tahoe City 4th of July Celebration here.

There will be people watching and activities happening all day long on Commons Beach for those that want to make a full day and evening out on the Tahoe City beaches of Lake Tahoe.

The drone show, which is eco-friendly will feature 300 drones this year, and it will be the largest done show ever done in Lake Tahoe. 

The drone show will start at around 9:30 p.m.  There will be food and beverage vendors on site, along with merchandise to celebrate the day at Commons Beach in Downtown Tahoe City, California!

The drone show will take place over Lake Tahoe and you can watch the show from Commons Beach, a local downtown restaurant, or bring your boat (Tahoe Gal) and watch the show while being on Lake Tahoe!

If you are not a fan of larger crowds, and if you can find a spot to see the Tahoe City downtown area, and you’ll still have a good view of the drone show, even if it is from a distance.

You may not know that the Annual Tahoe City Drone Show Event is sponsored by a combination of private and business donations.

Tahoe City 4th of July Drone Show 2024: The laser and glow show start at 9:15 p.m. with the drone show starting at 9:30 p.m.!

If you go, plan head to find a parking space.  Be patience.  This is a packed event, so space will be limited the closer to event starting time.

Don’t forget to bring your folding beach chairs, dress in layers, just in case a cool breeze comes up, and bring a flashlight for after the event!

Come out and celebrate our national holiday here in Lake Tahoe!

See you at the Tahoe City 4th of July Drone Show in Downtown Tahoe City!

Happy Birthday America!

Palisades Tahoe – Olympic Valley New Year’s Eve 2023

There a lot of fun places to spend New Year’s Eve, and here in the greater North Lake  Tahoe – Truckee area on Sunday, December 31, 2023 this will be 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 Baloon 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.

  • 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!

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 a good spot in the parking lot (typically at the very back), or anywhere you can see the ski resorts to watch the show.
