 When I first came to Lake Tahoe, I had no idea that our Lake hosted one of the top five fireworks display in the Nation! This 30 minute fireworks show synchrozined to music should not be missed. You will be amazed by the many patterns, lights, designs and shapes made more spectacular by the combination of music and the absolute beauty of Lake Tahoe. Listen to one of our local stations KRLT-FM 93.9 or KOWL-AM 1490 (sorry I-pod users, you have to use the old fashioned radio) and stake out a spot at one of the many viewing locations around the lake. I got these viewing suggestions from the Lake Tahoe Visitor Authority, but would love to hear from you if you have others…

- The Tahoe Queen and M.S. Dixie II: South Shore’s two Mississippi paddlewheelers offer a unique opportunity to view the light show from the water.

Log onto www.laketahoecruises.com.
- Tallac Historic Site: The Valhalla Arts & Music Festival will host a holiday barbecue at Tallac Vista. The quiet, off-the-beaten-track spot on Emerald Bay Road has a stunning view looking east across Lake Tahoe toward the fireworks.
- Nevada Beach: Located about two miles east of the Nevada casinos on Elk Point Road, Nevada Beach is the ideal setting for a family barbecue at the beach. A wide, sandy shoreline leads down to the sapphire waters of Lake Tahoe. Charcoal barbecues and picnic tables dot the beach. The view across the lake to the West Shore and Desolation Wilderness is unsurpassed. And the view of the fireworks display is one of the best in town.
- Regan and El Dorado Beaches: Located right where Highway 50 meets the Lake, these connecting stretches of narrow beach are front and center for the fireworks. Arrive early! These beaches fill up with people who love to be right under the action.
- Bijou Community Park: Set back from the shoreline on the corner of Johnson and Al Tahoe Blvds., Bijou Community Park affords a great view of the fireworks without the hustle and bustle of the beaches. Amenities at the park include restrooms, a skate park, a disc golf course, a playground, and an exercise circuit. The park is a great setting for families with young children.
- Baldwin Beach: Located about 5 miles down Emerald Bay Road and backed by the Tallac Historic Site, this narrow stretch of white sand beach has great views looking east toward the downtown area of South Shore. Public parking, restrooms, picnic facilities, fire pits, and barbecue grills are available.
