Fall’s “Quiet Season” Arrives in Truckee-Tahoe in Truckee-Tahoe

Fall Events in Truckee

Ask any local why the fall season is one of their favorites here in Truckee-Tahoe and they will undoubtedly tell you … life is at a much slower and peaceful pace. While tourists from around the world return to their hometowns with fond memories of their vacation in Truckee-Tahoe, residents and local businesses throughout the region are taking a deep breath and celebrating a very successful summer. It’s a time when the trees start to burst with spectacular Autumn colors, our local kids’ focus is on the costume of choice and the scent of freshly baked Cinnamon Buns and Pumpkin Spiced Lattes fill the air in our local cafes. Our vacation filled world of Truckee-Tahoe quiets – it’s one of Alison’s favorite times of year. Here a list of Fall Events in Truckee. 

The scenery and air are filling with stunning, bursts of Fall colors greeting you on trails everywhere. Spectacular weather and plenty of outdoor activities abound with a serene vibe that says “winter is coming”. For those who love philanthropic fundraising events, there’s plenty to fill the fall season calendar throughout the Sierra so we’re sharing a few fun events with you to supplement your outdoor activities.

One our favorite things to do when the world slows down in Truckee-Tahoe is to get out on the links to annually support the Humane Society of Truckee-Tahoe. This past week, we sponsored “Balls in the Rough” which is a fundraiser for The Humane Society of Truckee-Tahoe. As long-time supporters, this is one of Elder Group’s most treasured organizations who do wonderful work!

Whether you sit back and savor the season – come out to support one or more of our region’s special events – we invite you to come by and say hello to our team at the Elder Group Tahoe Real Estate office in Truckee. Now is the time to consider a property for ski season! Our team of professionals is happy to help get you settled for the soon to arrive snow and enjoy the holidays in Truckee-Tahoe!

Truckee River Day & Fair
Sunday, October 16, 2022

Fall Events in Truckee

Be part of what started it all … back in 1996. That is when the first Truckee River Day was created by the Truckee River Watershed Council. Since then, locals and visitors alike have volunteered their time, talent and treasures to help restore the river’s watershed. With boots, buckets and shovels in hand, hundreds have come out to participate in a full day of fun (often in the warmth of the Sierra sun).

Here are some highlights from the website where you can register and learn more about what’s to come.

You will be working side-by-side with other volunteers to restore the watershed, protect sensitive areas, plant native vegetation, and more. Through the registration process, you will let us know your project preferences and if you are a part of a group. We will email you about your project – the work you will be doing, where you will meet, and what you need to wear and bring.

Later in the day, you are invited to the Truckee River Day Fair at Granite Flat Campground from 1pm to 4pm to celebrate the Truckee River! All are welcome – even if you didn’t participate in the restoration projects. Come ready to have some fun – live entertainment, environmental education activities, art projects and more! Granite Flat is located one mile south of Truckee on Highway 89

Big Truck Day
Saturday, October 22, 2022
Town Corp Yard, Stockrest Springs Road

You don’t have to be a kid to participate in Big Truck Day at Tahoe Donner’s Town Corp Yard. In fact, we have heard that it’s the older folks who enjoy the equipment display more than most! You will be up-close and personal as you view the heavy-duty trucks, plows and more that keep our roads cleared and repaired throughout the year.

Fan of helicopters? Don’t miss this one as the CHP will be on-site to give personal tours of their equipment as well.

Bring your cameras to pose with Smokey the Bear and other critters from the Town of Truckee Humane Society and Animal Shelter.

Got a big truck or rig at home or at your business? Contact the organizers now to confirm your own display by calling (530) 550-4454. Any shape, size or age are welcome.
