CELEBRATING 21 YEARS OF FREE LIVE MUSIC IN TAHOE CITY!

Local, regional and national performers will delight Tahoe City audiences every Sunday afternoon this summer. This FREE 13-week concert series begins June through September.

They bring fun, creativity, and community energy to downtown through April, with our local businesses at the heart of it all.

The first 2nd Friday of the season kicked off on Jan. 9 with Sip, Shop & Solve, an interactive scavenger hunt that generated excitement, strong publicity, and welcomed additional visitors to town to join in the fun. Building on that momentum, we’re now planning the next three events and inviting businesses to get involved early. Whether you’re interested in hosting an event, offering a discount, planning a creative maker night, or adding something uniquely your own, now is the time to share your ideas so they can be included in marketing and event scheduling.
