Truckee Thursdays – 2024
If it is a Thursday and you are in the greater Truckee – North Lake Tahoe, California area between mid-June through early August, it’s time for a Truckee Thursday event night!
Each year, thousands of locals and visitors have made this a summer tradition by attending the Truckee Thursday event in Historic Downtown Truckee between 5 p.m. – 8:30 p.m., and you’ll want to include it on your summer must-do list too!
You’ll find age-appropriate activities for everyone including a kid’s 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.
Never been? Think of this event as a large, fun, block party festival with live music, a beer garden, a lot of arts and crafts booths/vendors offering many wonderful items to consider buying, along with the local downtown Truckee shops and restaurants that will also be open for you to enjoy!
We try to make it to this event at least a couple of times each season, and each time I go, I always walk away thinking that the greater Truckee and North Lake Tahoe area has the best local summer events!
Check out this video from a previous Truckee Thursday video to get an idea of street fair event:
Each year there are new vendors and things to try and experience.
Don’t know where to start? Look for beer tasting, wine and/or tea, coffee sampling, free live music, and a diverse selection of arts and crafts vendors to shop. I try to get to the food court early to avoid the longer lines, but you get there when you get there.
These seasonal events really allow locals and visitors to easily enjoy the amazing Tahoe lifestyle our area has to offer everyone.
The kick-off of Truckee Thursday this year will be Thursday, June 20, 2024, and the last one on Thursday, August 15, 2024, with summer hours from 5 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
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 Truckee Thursdays!
- Event Goer Tip: One of the best event-goer tips I can give to someone who has not been to a Truckee Thursday event before is to plan ahead for parking – be patient as you try to find a spot to park in, and don’t give up if you have to try several locations to get that parking spot, or use one of the shuttles at their designated pick-up/drop-off spots.
Parking in the downtown Truckee area is very limited, so one option is to take advantage of the free shuttle services.

Come hungry! There is a good variety of food-service vendors and truck, along with food stands. The earlier in the event the shorter the lines, so if you want to eat during prime time, be prepared to be patient and wait in line.
In the past there have been more than eighty (80) different artisans, along with commercial and non-profit vendors.
It’s hard to know how many vendors we will have this year, so it is important to come out and support those that do come to the event.
There will be year-around 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.
