In between washing our hands and disinfecting, we’re looking ahead to warm summer days and dreaming of new adventures! Here are some of the many wonderful events happening in Tahoe this summer (we’re keeping our fingers crossed that they can go forward as planned):

Harvey’s Summer Concert Series: Running from June through August, this year’s line-up includes Bob Dylan and His Band, Kid Rock and Phish.
Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival at Sand Harbor: Don’t miss this opportunity to enjoy live theater right on the lake! This year includes “Much Ado About Nothing” and “Mama Mia!”
Valhalla Renaissance Fair: Hosted at Camp Richardson June 6th and 7th, this family-friendly celebration features live events, food and drink, artisan crafts and more.
4th of July Lights on the Lake Fireworks: Each year, Lake Tahoe puts on a spectacular fireworks show to celebrate the 4th. NBC’s Today Show calls it one of the top fireworks display in the country! Follow the link to find some of the top spots to view the event.
The Celebrity Golf Tournament at Edgewood: July 7th-12th, 80 pro athletes and Hollywood celebrities will compete in this ever-popular event on Lake Tahoe.

A tour of the historic Virginia City or a Thunderbird Lodge Tour (by land, boat or kayak) might round out those summer days… what are your favorite ways to spend summer in Tahoe?

If you’re heading to Tahoe, we’ve got a few favorite locations to check out:

The Loft at Heavenly Village is open 7 days a week from 4 p.m. to 2 a.m., and features live theater, a lounge and dining.
Cold Water Brewery & Grill features craft beer, lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch, as well as special events and live music.
Mont Bleu Resort and The Hard Rock Casino offer several restaurants, bars and lounges alongside casino entertainment.
Feel like dining right on the lake? Riva Grill is open daily for lunch and dinner and has some of the best views around!
There are also spectacular views (and great food) to be found at Brook’s Bar and Deck at Edgewood Tahoe, which features award-winning pub fare. (Golf Digest selected it as a “best golf pub” in 2016!)
Or enjoy good German food and bier (along with trivia and open mic nights) at Himmel Haus.
Feel like something a bit cozier? Jimmy’s Restaurant (at The Landing) features several private dining alcoves, each with their own fireplace! There are also 5 fire pits on the patio and roof-top deck, which overlooks the lake.
Finally, another popular spot is McP’s Taphouse Grill, which has 40 beers on tap and live music every night.

Of course, our personal favorite is Billy’s Bar in the Eagles’ Nest! Come grab a drink and check out our newly re-designed lobby!

Visiting Tahoe? Don’t miss the Shops at Heavenly Village! Located at the base of Heavenly Mountain Resort’s Gondola (and a close walk to the casinos), this area offers great dining, live music, a movie theater, shops, a lift up the mountain and even ice skating or mini golf! Currently, the ice rink is open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. through April. Some of our favorite choices? Driftwood Cafe, Azul Latin Kitchen and Base Camp Pizza Co.!
