Tahoe Truck Stop Food Truck Weekend, scheduled for July 14-16, 2017, has been cancelled. The 3-day event On Course Events had been planning was set to include 8 food trucks and a late night performance from Afrolicious at the American Legion in South Lake Tahoe.

With limited event support coupled with overwhelming costs associated with providing the appropriate infrastructure for the 8 trucks and expected guests all weekend, On Course Event decided this event became too expensive to produce at this time.
