LAKE TAHOE, Nev. – Heads up, Tahoe fam—mark your calendars for September 27–28, 2025, because the Tahoe Games Mountain Sports Festival is landing at the Lake Tahoe Amphitheatre (Caesars Republic), and it’s free for everyone.

Giving Back: The Smaine Fund Connection

It’s not just a festival—it’s a community cause. One of the event’s partners is the Smaine Fund, a local nonprofit dedicated to mentorship and safety in mountain sports. That means every squeal of excitement and pedal push supports a bigger effort in our riding and mountain-loving community.

Why This Matters for Tahoe Together

To us, Tahoe is more than a place—it’s who we are. The Tahoe Games embodies that perfectly: athletic ambition, creative culture, local causes, and pure inclusion—all without a price tag. It’s the kind of festival that fits right into the Tahoe Together mission—celebrating connection, community, and the do-good energy in our backyard.
