We LOVE Lake Tahoe so much that we adopted Lakeview Commons beach! 
We host weekly beach cleanups every Monday morning from 9:00 – 10:30 am to help do our part in taking care of our favorite beach! Over the last 9 weeks our crew and volunteers have collected over 300 lbs of trash! We’re hosting our final cleanup of the season on Monday, September 1st – join us to help increase our impact on the lake!
And please beach responsibly, ALWAYS PACK YOUR TRASH!
While the rest of California overheats, we’re chillin’ here in South Lake Tahoe! With plenty of summer fun left ahead of us, plan your next summer getaway in South Lake Tahoe – but before you do, check out some pro tips from our friends at Submerge Magazine.
Co-Owner of Submerge Magazine tells you first hand, how much better your weekend in Tahoe can be if you start it with a Thursday night Live at Lakeview concert – “a free weekly concert series happening Thursdays throughout the summer. Live at Lakeview features talented touring and local acts right on the beach in one of the most spectacular settings Submerge has ever seen host live music. Imagine a smaller more intimate version of downtown Sacramento’s Concerts in the Park, except right on the shore of one of the most beautiful lakes in the world, surrounded by towering mountain peaks. Hit up the beer garden, groove to some tunes and take it all in!”
While you’re here be sure to check out the great activities our event partners offer, from Standup Paddle Boarding with South Tahoe Standup Paddle Board to flying through the sky at Heavenly Mountain‘s brand new Blue Streak Zip- Line.
Check out all of Submerge’s pro-tips and join us up in Lake Tahoe to beat the heat this summer!
Happy Thursday South Lake Tahoe! 4th of July fun starts a day early on the south shore, so get ready to celebrate! FREE live music on the beach starts at 4:30 pm with Taking Root, then we move into the birthday celebration with Lavish Green! 19 years ago (to the day) local rockers, Lavish Green played their very first gig at a house party on Alameda avenue. 19 years later, their original front man Rob Giustina (aka Robby Jah) hosts their anniversary celebration down the street from where it all started!
Here’s a taste of what to expect from Lavish Green tonight!
See you at the beach!
We had the pleasure of hanging out with the guys from RISE Designs this afternoon to do some color selection for this season’s Live at Lakeview Trucker Hat.

We’ve been blessed to host dozens of super talented musicians on the Live at Lakeview stage over the past two summers. When we started looking at the 2014 lineup, it was hard not to bring back every band from last year but in an effort to keep things fresh we will only have three Live at Lakeview headliner repeats this season!
On July 3rd, local favorites, Lavish Green make their triumphant return to Live at Lakeview as they celebrate 19 years of rockin’ hearts & souls here in Tahoe! That’s right, July 3, 2014 happens to be their 19th anniversary and we’re beyond stoked to host such an incredible celebration!
On July 10th, we’re bringing back one of our favorite opening acts from 2012 and 2013, Tracorum! Third time’s a charm for these guys as they are now headliners for the show with the local bluegrass sounds of The Sierra Drifters kicking things off at 4:30 pm! Tracorum is an incredibly talented Rock n’ Soul band from San Francisco who’s been blowing up across California and throughout the US. Watching artists blossom from opening acts to killer headliners is a beautiful thing and we can’t wait for them to return to the Live at Lakeview stage this July!
Another three-peat performer for Live at Lakeview, 40 Watt Hype, returns August 7th with their eclectic sound that always gets the crowd moving! Every season, this is always my favorite show because their talent is unmatched and the vibe is felt all around the venue. Take a look at the fun we’ve had with 40 Watt Hype over the past two seasons:
We have some really outstanding music coming to Live at Lakeview this summer! If you haven’t already done so, take a good look at the lineup and get STOKED!
Summer is almost here!
Each Thursday night will feature a different genre of music ranging from Rock & Roll, Blues, Reggae, Americana, Funk & Soul, Latin Soul, and more. Based on the wild success of the FREE Bike Valet service, On Course Events will be expanding its’ size and encouraging every guest to arrive on bicycles to create a green event and limit the impacts from parking. Parking is limited; with off-site locations available at the SLT Recreation Center (1180 Rufus Allen Blvd.)
Bike or hike!
The masterminds behind Live at Lakeview, On Course Events, is teaming up with Sierra-at-Tahoe Resort, Tahoe South, and Lake Tahoe TV to bring your FREE outdoor concerts on the slopes!
Springtime at Sierra is the best! Soft turns, warm weather, and outdoor concerts on our brand new plaza deck! We’re kicking off the Equinox Spring Festival with a huge party tomorrow as The Soft White Sixties rock the slopes for our concert of the Live at Grandview Music Series. Local Favorites, Vokab Kompany will be opening up the show at 2:00 pm. This will be the first of three free, outdoor concerts that aim to bring the great vibes of the local’s summertime favorite, Live at Lakeview, to the slopes.
The Soft White Sixties were named as one of Paste Magazine’s “Top 25 Shows at SXSW” and they are just returning from rocking their third season at the popular Austin, TX festival. While they are considered to be a jam band the lead singer, Octavio Genera, told our friends at Tahoe Onstage, “It was never meant to be a jam band; it was meant to be song focused. It’s never been a jam (planned) for the set,” he said. “It’s a lot better when it happens naturally. It’s always more enjoyable when we don’t plan for that to happen.”
Their new album, “Get Right” was released in early March as an organic collection of soul-driven anthems, heart-felt choruses, sticky grooves, and clever arrangements. Like the object after which The Soft White Sixties are named, this band shines!
The Soft White Sixties will be joined by some Good Kompany as San Diego’s Vokab Kompany opens up the show at 2:00 pm. Vokab Kompany is made up of two MC/singers, backed by their 4 piece band of awesome. Their live show combines multiple synths/keys with bass/drums to create a sound that doesn’t quite adhere to a specific genre, but seems to fit the bill with several.
Every time Vokab comes to town they are welcomed with a huge crowd in true Tahoe fashion not only because of their awesomeness, but also because Robbie Galle (one of the MC’s) has roots here in South Lake Tahoe. He’s a South Tahoe High grad and his two younger brothers are still living here in town.
I seriously cannot wait for this dance party! Hope to see all of you there!
