Truckee Arts and Crafts Festival – Sept 6-7, 2014
Fall is in the air here in the North Lake Tahoe – Truckee area and this weekend is the perfect time to check out the Historic Downtown Truckee Arts and Crafts Festival, on Saturday, September 6 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, September 7, 2014 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Downtown Historic Truckee will be closed off to local traffic between Bridge Street and Jibboom Street on both Saturday and Sunday for the Arts and Crafts Festival.
This is your chance to not only shop the local artisans that will be here in the Tahoe area for the two-day arts and crafts festival, but a great way to shop year-around Truckee businesses that are also located along main street.
It’s not too early to start your holiday shopping now and find that unique gift for that special someone. If you know you’ll be looking for that special piece of “Tahoe” art, crafts, and/or other items that are unique to our area to furnish your Tahoe second home, or if you know there will be someone on your gift-giving list that will really enjoy getting a gift that just reminds them of the Lake Tahoe -Truckee area, this event is a great one to go to.
Being outdoors here in September is a wonderful time of year to be here in Lake Tahoe. Our late summer days are nice and hot with temperatures into the mid-to-high 70’s, while our evenings are definitely cooler than they were a month ago. It’s the perfect weather combination, and what better place to enjoy your summer days than here in the Truckee – Tahoe City area!
If you’ll be up here in the greater Truckee, or North Lake Tahoe area this weekend, Sept 6-7, 2014 don’t forget to check out the Truckee Arts and Crafts Festival in downtown Truckee, CA and the Gourmet Marketplace in Northstar.
The Truckee Arts and Crafts Festival is sponsored by the Truckee Downtown Merchant’s Association at 530-587-3161, and the Pacific Fine Arts Festival group.
Need more reasons? Even if you’re not a big shopper, but just want to enjoy being outside in beautiful downtown Truckee taking in the festival atmosphere, this is a fun way to do it. You’ll find jewelry, paintings, pottery, glassware, clothing, and so much more.
You’ll also discover some great places to have breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a place to have a cool beverage and snack.
What can I say, I fall for the smell of fresh fudge, or carmel candied apples from the local candy store in downtown Truckee every time!
The Truckee Arts and Crafts Festival in downtown Truckee is free to the public.
Here is the schedule:

I went last year and found gingerbread pancakes (mixes), gourmet chocolates and nuts, English Curd (lemon, orange, and apple spice), along with amazing shortbread cookies, just to name of few of the taste-treats that I found at last year’s event.
The Gourmet Marketplace at the Northstar Village is part of the 29th Annual Autumn Food and Wine Festival in Northstar, which has a number of cooking demonstrations, and events (combination of fee and free events) this weekend.
If you’ll be in the greater West Shore, Homewood, Truckee, Tahoe City, or Kings Beach, North Lake Tahoe area in this weekend be sure to stop by the Truckee one of the Fine Arts and Crafts Fairs in the area. It’s a great way to spend some time and enjoy being here in Lake Tahoe.
