Truckee Thursdays 2019
If it is a Thursday between June 13 – August 29, 2019 it a Truckee Thursday event night!
This popular local event continues to grow, and is an event you’ll want to take in this summer!
Each year, thousands of locals and visitors have made this a summer tradition, and you’ll want to include it on your summer to-do list too!
You’ll find age appropriate activities for everyone including a kids area, food trucks/vendors, local merchant promotions (restaurants, shops, services) beer garden (must be 21+ and over for alcohol drinks), and a street festival atmosphere with local vendor booths lined up and down the center of Downtown Historic Truckee providing a great shopping opportunity.
This is a fun block party festival with live music, beer garden, a lot of arts and crafts booths with many wonderful items to consider buying, alone with the local downtown Truckee shops and restaurants that will be open too.
We try to make it to this event at least a couple of times each year, and each time I go, I always walk away thinking, the greater North Lake Tahoe and Truckee area has the best local events.
What a great place to live, work, or have a second home!
Check out this video from a previous Truckee Thursday video to get an idea of street fair event:
While Truckee Thursdays is a weekly summer event, the North Lake Tahoe area has a number of special one-day festivals.
They vary from beer tasting, wine sampling, free music concerts, to arts and crafts fairs, along with outdoor movies, and other events that really allow locals and visitors to enjoy the Tahoe lifestyle our area offers .
The kick-off of Truckee Thursday is Thursday, June 13, 2019. So depending on when you are reading this post you may have as many as eleven (11) events you can attend this summer.
If you haven’t made plans to be in our area, now is the time to book your summer vacation plans to be here!
This local weekly event is admission FREE for everyone, so there’s no reason to not come and enjoy the event.
- Event Goer Tip: One of the best event goer tip I can give to someone who has not been to a Truckee Thursday event before is to plan ahead for parking.
Parking in the downtown Truckee area is very limited, so take advantage of the free shuttle services this year from Donner Lake, Squaw Valley, Northstar, Sierra Meadows, Brockway, Prosser, Glenshire, or from Tahoe Donner. Check out the shuttle schedule here.
Taking advantage of any of the free shuttle services into the Truckee Thursday event will mean you don’t have to worry about finding a parking spot!
Come hungry! Last year there were over ten (10) full-service food vendors, ten (10) food carts.
There were more than eighty (80) different artisans, along with commercial and non-profit vendors, and this year will be even better and bigger as more vendors want to get in on one of the hottest tickets around in the greater North Lake Tahoe area.
There are merchants, artists, and food vendors with all sorts of interesting, unique, and delicious goods to choose from.
- Event Goer Tip: Don’t forget to bring along your shopping bag. California is a shopping bag free state, so plan ahead and bring your own recyclable bag so you can easily carry any items you purchase. While most merchants will have bags (additional 10 cent/bag cost) it’s always easier if you bring your own. : )
Summer is a great time to be here in Truckee and North Lake Tahoe and on Thursday nights you’ll want to check out the Truckee Thursdays event for a fun evening of food, drink, local entertainment and artesian goods.
