Light Up South Lake Tahoe

In order to prepare for the 2nd Annual Light Up South Lake Tahoe on December 7, local businesses are encouraged to show their holiday spirit by decorating their storefronts with lights and other decor. The City of South Lake Tahoe is helping defray the cost of lights by offering 2 long strands for the price of 1 strand, which is just $12.

Last year, South Tahoe Stand Up Paddle outdid themselves with a large display of lights at their 3115 Harrison Avenue location. To highlight the efforts of businesses this year, the City is offering a prize for "Best Participation" and "Most Enthusiastic" displays.

On December 7th at 6 pm, businesses along Highway 50 will turn on their lights in a wave and “Light up South Lake Tahoe” as the South Lake Tahoe Fire Department truck, South Lake Tahoe Police Department Command Vehicle and Snow Plows, all decorated in festive holiday lights, pass by. Everyone is invited to participate in their decorated vehicles by following along behind the procession.

The festivities will conclude at the “Y” with the annual tree lighting, a special visit from Santa and hot cocoa & cookies.

For lights, please contact the city at 530-542-6093 and mention you want to take part in the Buy 1, Get 1 FREE light program. More information is also available on their website.
