It’s Memorial weekend, the official start to summertime in Tahoe. Besides camping, boating and barbecues, there will be some fun activities around the Tahoe area to check out.

Made in Tahoe Festival
Saturday, May 23 and Sunday, May 24
11am – 7pm

My favorite option this weekend for fun is the Made in Tahoe Festival at Squaw Valley.  With a long line-up of bands both Saturday and Sunday, this will be a lively place to hang out.  Enjoy the Village as you explore a wide array of offerings that are made in or inspired by the Lake Tahoe Basin and Truckee areas. You are sure to find some unique gifts, some good food, and lots of talent as we celebrate Tahoe, the gorgeous place that we all love.

Northsatar Bike/Hike Park Opening
Friday, May 22
10am – 5pm

The bike/hike park opens at Northstar this Friday, May 22!  Come out and explore Northstar in the summer. If it’s a charilift ride to the top of Vista Express or a hike out to Sawmill Lake or a fast downhill bike ride, get out and enjoy every bit of this mountain.  On Sunday, venture up to the Boondocks trail for USA Cycling Downhill Regional Championships race, there will surely be some action to watch.

Truckee Home & Building Show
Saturday, May 23 and Sunday, May 24
10am – 5pm

The Truckee Home & Building Show will highlight everything you need to build, remodel, landscape and decorate your mountain home.  The 23rd annual event  will bring together  150 exhibits, informational lectures, the local utility district with free light bulbs and Tahoe Forest Health System featuring a healthy living forum.  A great event to check out for anyone who owns a Tahoe home.
