Tahoe City 4th of July Celebration – 2025

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

It’s one of the biggest holiday weeks of the year here, and we are ready to celebrate!

Looking for a place to see the holiday fireworks?  Get ready as “the Boom is Back”!

The 77th annual Tahoe City Fireworks Show has returned!  Over the past few years we’ve had a drone show instead of the traditional fireworks show, but this year the boom, sizzle, and sparkle are back!

The return of the traditional fireworks show has been a private funding effort and donations are still being collected.  If you see a donation site, or want more information on how to donate, check out this webpage.

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.

We’ve seen both over the years the live fireworks and the drone show.  Both are impressive for different reasons, but thid\s year you’ll see the traditional fireworks show to celebrate America’s 249 birthday!   

An all-day celebration!  You will find local businesses hosting fun activities, or specials through-out the day.

  • Commons Beach:
  • 9:30 p.m.  Tahoe City Fireworks Show
  • 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.

The fireworks show will start at around 9:30 p.m.  Get there early to find your spot to watch the show!

The fireworks are launched from a floating barge on Lake Tahoe so you can watch the show from Commons Beach, a local downtown restaurant, or bring your boat 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 fireworks 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.
