This year, we’re welcoming an aerial drone show that will replace dangerous fireworks, eliminating the risk of fire and environmental pollution in Lake Tahoe and the watershed while reducing noise pollution for domestic pets and local wildlife.

It’s a light show you won’t want to miss! Orchestrated to music, over 100 drones will take to the air directly over Lake Tahoe, brightening up the sky and delivering a new kind of wonder. The Tahoe City show will take place on July 4 over Commons Beach.

We expect a year like never before, with happy visitors and locals and a return to packed streets, hotels, shops, and restaurants. The weeks surrounding July 4 are considered the busiest and highest revenue-generating times of the year for our North and West shore businesses—and we love seeing our businesses thrive!

We want to thank the North Lake Tahoe Resort Association for partnering with us to help pay for the show, which is significantly more expensive than traditional fireworks. However, we still need more support to bring this show to life! The drone light show will be partly funded by grants, sponsorships, and donations from generous organizations and individuals, like you. Please help our efforts to bring July 4 BACK to Tahoe City!
