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?

Looking for ways to cool off in the Texas Hill Country? Here are a few ideas:

The Medina River is a wonderful place for tubing and kayaking. Contact the Medina River Company in Bandera or Bandera City Park (also a great place for picnicking and swimming) for more information.
The Red Cove Cafe and Marina on Medina Lake in Mico, Texas doesn’t allow swimming but has excellent burgers; Joe’s Place Marina and Resort offers swimming, fishing and picnicking.
Prefer a water park? The Flying L Ranch Resort (right in Bandera) has a small but fun water park, as well as golf, horseback riding and other activities.
The Boerne City Lake Park offers a fishing pier, 9-hole frisbee golf, a butterfly garden, picnicking and more.
Or visit the Kerrville Olympic Pool, which charges only $1 for admission and has a kids’ pool and high dive boards.
The Louise Hayes Park in Kerrville also offers a cute splash area.

Or spend the afternoon at our very own resort pool… stay cool and happy travels!

Reminder: Tahoe Summer Road Repairs

Vacationing in Tahoe this summer? Extensive pavement repairs are currently underway throughout the Tahoe Village parking lots and streets. This means that RVs and trailers will not be allowed in the area from May through October. This will affect both our Tahoe Village and Eagles’ Nest resorts, so please keep this in mind when making your summer plans.

Thank you, and happy travels!
