Summer Movies on the Beach Tahoe City 2021

Ready to experience an outdoor movie on the edge of Lake Tahoe?

If your answer is yes, and you’ll be in the greater North Lake Tahoe – Truckee area on any Wednesday between July 14 through August 18, 2021, check out Commons Beach in Downtown Tahoe City at dusk!

This is a local summer favorite! It is the chance to be outside and watch the Alpenglow cover Lake Tahoe at dusk and then spend a couple of hours watching a movie on the big blow-up screen.

If you haven’t been to an outdoor movie recently in a park, or in our case, one set on the beach in North Lake Tahoe, put this event on your summer list of things to do this year!

The Wednesday night Tahoe City movies on the beach will begin at dusk. All movies will be at Commons Beach in downtown Tahoe City.

You’ll find that all of the movies are either PG or PG-13. If you want to get their early, the fun starts at 7 p.m. with the movie starting at dusk (check your phone weather app to find out when dusk is on the night you’ll be going).

Here are some Suggested Movie Going Tips:

Movie Attendees are encouraged to bring the following:

Chairs Only low back chairs are allowed. However, if you bring a high back chair (I get it, not everyone can easily get up and down into a low-backed beach chair, I’m one of them) you will have to sit on the side, or in the back of the viewing area.
Bring sleeping bags/beach towels (small plastic tarp to put under them) if you’ll be on the ground. Remember the ground most likely will be damp, so make sure you have the right things to put down on the ground for an enjoyable evening.
Bring blankets and jackets (our summer evening and nights will become cool and if a breeze comes up off the lake things will really cool down fast).
The fun starts around 7 p.m. If you arrive early you can watch them set up the movie screen. You’ll get some people watching time in along with seeing the incredible Alpenglow over Lake Tahoe!
Snacks There are food truck/concession sales, but you are allowed to bring your own snacks, so if you’re on a diet, you can still stay on track and enjoy the movie. It’s nice to support the local vendors, but you have some options.
Movies begin at dusk. (Check your weather app on your phone for the time dusk will begin for the date you are going to attend.)
Bring a flashlight so you can make sure you’ve packed everything up and have an easy walk back to your car with light when the movie is over.

Come out and enjoy a beautiful summer evening in Tahoe City out underneath the stars and watch a free movie on the beaches of Lake Tahoe this year!
