Live It Up Local This Labor Day Weekend!
Labor Day weekend is summer’s last hurrah, and North Tahoe knows how to make the most of it. This is the time to squeeze in every drop of sunshine, every lakeside moment, and every bit of mountain fun before the season shifts.
Local shops and restaurants are joining the celebration with sales, specials, and end-of-summer events. It is the perfect chance to show your love for North Tahoe by supporting the businesses that make this community thrive.
Spend your days out on the water, exploring the trails, or relaxing on the beach. Stroll through local shops for holiday deals, then gather with friends in the evening for great food, live music, and sunsets that remind you why Tahoe summers are so memorable.
This Labor Day, shop, dine, and play local!
