SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – Heavenly Village will once again host a large New Year’s Eve celebration, welcoming thousands of locals and visitors to ring in 2026 with an unforgettable night of live music, fireworks, and celebration.
Headlining this year’s Heavenly Holidays New Year’s Eve Celebration is platinum-selling, Grammy-nominated artist and songwriter Eric Paslay, performing alongside an all-star band featuring Jared James Nichols, Mark Mackay, and CJ Solar, with very special guest Bahena. The result is a one-night-only performance packed with iconic songs, powerhouse musicianship, and high-energy moments.
In addition to the live concert, guests will experience the Heavenly Gondola Ball Drop, followed by a spectacular West Coast New Year’s fireworks show at 9 p.m., allowing families and visitors of all ages to celebrate the New Year together before midnight.
“This is what New Year’s Eve in Tahoe is meant to feel like,” said Dreu Murin, event organizer and producer. “World-class musicians, filled with energy, and everyone counting down together under the fireworks. The Heavenly Village allows us to create something that’s authentic, electric, and truly special for both our community and the visitors who choose to celebrate the New Year with us in Lake Tahoe. I can’t express my appreciation for all those who help pull this event off.”
The free, outdoor concert takes place on Wednesday, December 31, in the heart of Heavenly Village at Lake Tahoe, offering guests an immersive New Year’s Eve experience surrounded by restaurants, bars, retail, lodging, and après-ski energy, all steps from the California–Nevada state line.
The event is presented in partnership with Visit Lake Tahoe, City of South Lake Tahoe, Tahoe Improvement District, Tahoe Douglas Visitors Authority, Lake Tahoe Visitors Authority, The City of South Lake Tahoe and The Shops at Heavenly Village with support from local businesses and community partners.
Guests are encouraged to arrive early, enjoy dinner and drinks throughout the Village, and stay late to welcome the New Year with live music, fireworks, and an unmatched Tahoe atmosphere.
