venue

The Lake Tahoe Historical Society is bringing historical characters back to life in their "Chautauqua at Lake Tahoe 2015" on September 20 at 5 p.m. in the Valhalla Grand Hall.

Experience Mrs. Tevis, John Muir, Yank Clement, Julia Bulette, Charley Parkhurst and Kit Carson as you've never imagined.

Last year's sold out event in the Boathouse Theater was so successful the Historical Society decided to move into a larger venue and add dinner to the evening.

SnowGlobe will be able to have amplified music go later this winter in order to stagger the times concert goers leave the venue. With 15,000 people leaving at the same time, concert promoters said this would allow them to more adequately and safely accommodate the people leaving and not create long lines at the buses.

During Tuesday's City Council meeting, the council voted unanimously to allow the concert promoters to have amplified music in the tents only until 11:30 p.m. on December 29 and 30 and until 1:00 a.m. on December 31.

Due to a forecasted 80% chance of thunderstorms today, Live at Lakeview will be held inside Tep’s Villa Roma’s banquet room from 7:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. World’s Finest, a 5-piece Americana band with a ska twist will perform for Live at Lakeview’s
3rd week in the series with MerryGold opening the show at 7:00 p.m. Admission for this 21+ show will be $5, which will go to the entertainment.

7:15 p.m. update:

The storm passed through and the concert is back on.

Original Story

The 6,000 people attending the Reggae Festival at the Hard Rock Lake Tahoe are being evacuated because of lightning in the area.

Several strikes of lightning in the South Lake Tahoe area Saturday evening prompted the necessity to get the people out according to Tahoe Douglas Fire Marshal Eric Guevin. He was expecting the open the venue back up as soon as safe. As of 6:45 p.m. Saturday, the lightening was in the ridge about Glenbrook.

The fourth season of Live at Lakeview begins on Thursday, June 25th with dual Lake Tahoe debut performances from the Bay Area's Raymond Victor Band and The Jonny Gold Trio from Davis, CA.

“A close family friend, who manages Big Brother & The Holding Company, recommended The Raymond Victor Band after I expressed our desire for that authentic Chicago Blues sound,” states Leslie Schultz of On Course Events. “ After hearing the grittiness in Raymond’s voice as he jams on the keys, we knew this was the perfect fit for Live at Lakeview!”

The owners of Heavenly Village Cinemas want to turn an empty third floor space on the property into a restaurant and bar with an entertainment venue with stadium style seating for 110 people.

The popular outdoor concert series in South Lake Tahoe, Live at Lakeview, is about to start their fourth season of music on the beach.

Since the city is actually giving the event about $41,500 in waived venue charges ($650 a week), in kind services of parks, streets and public safety personnel, and cash.

With crowds approaching 14,000 nightly, one would expect some complaints and arrests. SnowGlobe in South Lake Tahoe had both during the first two nights.

There was one arrest for selling drugs and two noise complaints phoned into the South Lake Tahoe Police Department's dispatch.

Cold, Cold, Cold. That is the forecast for South Lake Tahoe on Tuesday night and SnowGlobe attendees need to be prepared.

SnowGlobe attendees will need to be prepared for very cold temps since the high on Tuesday will max out at 24 and the low of 10 will feel more like -7 with the wind chill.

With a lack of snow in South Lake Tahoe to act as a buffer, the sound from SnowGlobe has more of an effect on area residents.

The concert has a maximum of 95 decibels allowed for sound, the same as last year. But with the reports received Sunday night on the City of South Lake Tahoe's SnowGlobe hotline, the reach of the sound is much greater and more bothersome to the callers than last year.
