SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - The popular Live at Lakeview music series on the shore of Lake Tahoe was not held in 2020 due to the pandemic but organizers are still hoping to try and have a few concerts in August.
In a normal year, Live at Lakeview starts the first Thursday of summer, then weekly until Labor Day. The start is on hold until all mask mandates and social distancing
restrictions are lifted for the state of California.
The City of South Lake Tahoe has officially begun accepting event applications for small gatherings, and the State of California is scheduled to begin lifting most business restrictions on June 15th, 2021.
“These are steps in a positive direction, and if our situation continues to improve, we may get to host a few live shows in August,” states Leslie Schultz, On Course Events Director of Marketing. “Unfortunately, at this time, we do not feel it’s safe or responsible to move forward with our usual season of 10 weekly
concerts.”
The popular summer music series held at Lakeview Commons every summer since 2012 was not able to produce a single live event due to the COVID-19 restrictions in 2020. The On Course Events team remains hopeful to revive the Live at Lakeview Summer Music Series with a concert or two in August 2021, however; any potential events this summer are dependent on State of California regulations and
restrictions.
“The public health and overall safety of our community and staff remain our top priority.” states Rob Giustina, Owner of On Course Events, “We are eager to get back to providing free live music at Lakeview Commons for our community, but at this time we are putting the 2021 season of Live at Lakeview on hold through at least July to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.”
Reviving this free concert series on the beach will require substantial support from local sponsors to come back from the loss of last season’s production. To get involved, stay connected or provide support please follow @LiveatLakeview on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
