SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - A day full of family-friendly fun will take place on Saturday, October 19 during the Bijou Bash at Bijou Community Park in South Lake Tahoe from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

“This community works hard all year to make South Lake Tahoe what it is and we want to celebrate that,” said City Manager Frank Rush, “At the end of the day families matter, citizens matter, this event is the city’s way of bringing everyone together to acknowledge that.”

There will be food trucks, games, face painting and live music from the band “Front Porch.” So far Tahoe Pops, Empanash, Burger Lounge, The Dinner Station Truck, BlackJack Grill BBQ, Country Girl Kettle Corn and Lemonade, Dolfo's Donuts, and Mountain Aloha Shaved Ice and Coffee will be at the event.

“We’ve got so many fun family-friendly events planned, this is going to be a must-attend event,” said Chris Fiore, the City's communications manager, “The city did the Bijou Bash years ago and then it stopped. We’re excited to bring back this community celebration that will be bigger and better than ever!”

The bash will also be the publics' first chance to buy brand new city swag with the new city logo on it. They will be selling long sleeve t-shirts, sweatshirts, travel mugs, and beanies.

“We’ve seen this community come together in incredible ways this past year,” said Rush, “It’s important to have events like this to keep that spirit going.”
