Finding a great place to eat with the whole family just got easier. The North Tahoe Chamber has created a new Family-Friendly Restaurant Guide to help locals and visitors discover dining options that welcome kids, offer relaxed atmospheres, and make it simple to enjoy a meal together.

From casual lakefront bites to hearty mountain favorites, the guide highlights restaurants across the region that go the extra mile for families—whether that means kids’ menus, flexible seating, or space to unwind after a day outside.

North Lake Tahoe’s dining scene reflects the diversity of the region itself, and this new resource makes it easy to find the right spot for every appetite and every adventure.

The North Tahoe Chamber is proud to support local businesses through the Tahoe City Farmers Market, returning May 14 through October 22 at Commons Beach every Thursday from 8 AM to 1 PM. This year, the Chamber will create opportunities that increase visibility and connection for local businesses.

This season includes continued sponsorship of cooking demonstrations featuring local restaurants beginning in June, offering a platform to highlight Tahoe City’s culinary community and engage directly with attendees.

New this year, the Chamber is offering a free, sponsored booth space for local businesses to share materials, showcase offerings, and connect with market visitors. A downtown business map will also be distributed to encourage exploration of Tahoe City’s shops, restaurants, and services before and after the market.

Together, these efforts are designed to strengthen the connection between the Farmers Market experience and the broader local business community.

The North Tahoe Chamber was a proud sponsor of the 2026 Tahoe Prosperity Center Tahoe Economic Summit, held May 7 in South Lake Tahoe. The conference focused on accelerating Tahoe’s innovation ecosystem and featured local economic experts, Tahoe-based entrepreneurs, and leading policy and change-makers. Keynote speakers Dr. Fred Steinmann and Karen Gordon presented a macroeconomic overview of the primary drivers impacting our region and shared insights on how businesses and communities can prepare for future changes.

During the “From Ideas to Expansion: Navigating Business Growth in Tahoe” workshop, it was inspiring to hear from Jason Juurss of Happy Tiers Bakery, who shared how the North Tahoe Chamber has helped support him as his new bakery prepares to open in Kings Beach. In the Innovation Space, we learned about the Marcella Foundation’s makerspace for high school students and viewed a live laser technology demonstration, and heard updates from the Tahoe Earth Institute on initiatives transforming bark waste chips into usable wood products for homes and businesses.

The summit provided an incredible opportunity for networking, collaboration, and education, bringing together leaders, innovators, and community members committed to strengthening Tahoe’s economy and future. The North Tahoe Chamber was honored to be part of the conversations and looks forward to continuing to support innovation, entrepreneurship, and economic vitality throughout the region.

The North Tahoe Chamber is excited to launch a new Visitor Information Center (VIC) Concierge Experience Program designed to help Visitor Information Center staff become even stronger ambassadors for the North Tahoe region.

Through rotating monthly experiences, VIC staff will explore local businesses, attractions, activities, restaurants, retail shops, and community events firsthand. The goal is to deepen staff knowledge of the region so they can provide visitors with more authentic, personalized recommendations based on real experiences.

By engaging directly with local businesses and community offerings, the program also aims to strengthen relationships across North Tahoe while creating a more connected and informed visitor experience.

After each experience, participating staff members will share insights, recommendations, and key takeaways with the broader VIC team, helping build a collective knowledge base that benefits visitors throughout the region.

The program reflects the Chamber’s ongoing commitment to supporting local businesses and ensuring visitors receive welcoming, informed, and experience-driven guidance when exploring North Tahoe.

Businesses and organizations interested in hosting a VIC Concierge Experience are encouraged to reach out. To learn more or schedule a visit, contact Cory Hunt at cory@northtahoechamber.com.
