In celebration of the end of summer in South Lake Tahoe, the annual pyrotechnic extravaganza will explode over the lake at 8:30 p.m. on Sunday, September 4.

The show features a simultaneous music broadcast that can be heard on local stations KRLT-FM 93.9 and KOWL - AM 1490.

Fireworks will be visible from many viewing areas around the South Show, but here are some of the sweet spots to get a front row seat:

El Dorado County is holding a public meeting about the Meyers Corridor Plan on Thursday, July 21 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the California Conservation Corps Building at 1949 Apache Ave. in Meyers.

Staff will be presenting the three options on roadway and path improvements that are aimed at providing attractive and safe transportation options for the area for those that work, play and visit Meyers. The targeted 1.3 mile stretch along Highway 50 and Highway 89 will see lighting, signage, landscaping and a reduction of reliance on cars with increased improvements for walkers and bikers.

Thousands of bicyclists will be sharing the highways around Lake Tahoe on Sunday and during practice rides on Saturday. Drivers on Highways 50, 89 and 28 will need to be aware of the extra activity on the road created by riders participating in the 25th America's Most Beautiful Bike ride, a 72-mile ride around the lake.

A project intended to increase public safety has begun on the north shore in Incline Village. The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) has begun the project to enhance the State Route 431 Mt. Rose Highway truck escape ramp.
