Lake Tahoe residents and visitors know that summertime has arrived with the beginning of the Tahoe City Solstice Festival, one of Tahoe City Downtown Association’s signature annual events. Join us in the heart of Tahoe City to celebrate the beginning of summer. In addition to Tahoe City’s distinctive charms – including convenient lake access, acclaimed artists, fabulous restaurants and notable shops and galleries – the Thursday Farmers Market, Solstice Stroll Classic Car Show on Friday, Saturday Tahoe City Wine Walk and Sunday’s concert are annual Solstice Festival highlights. The Solstice Festival, June 18-21, may be the best place to celebrate Father’s Day at the lake. Many people take the opportunity to shop and wrap up the day with dinner in Tahoe City. It’s going to be a great Solstice Weekend in Tahoe City!
