SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif./Nev.- The 38th consecutive award-winning fireworks display combined with scenic beauty, outdoor recreation, nightlife and entertainment makes South Shore one of the most sought-after locations to spend the all-American holiday.

Ooo’s & Ahhh’s

South Lake Tahoe‘s “Lights on the Lake” is a ‘must-do’ for vacation plans for this Fourth of July. The spectacular show is rated as one of the top five displays from the American Pyrotechnics Association and is perfectly timed to an assorted mix of music loved across generations. Sponsored by Tahoe Douglas Visitors Authority and produced by Zambelli Fireworks, the show is scheduled to begin at 9:45 p.m. and simulcast on local radio stations KRTL-FM 93.9 and KOWL-AM 1490. ALL ABOUT THAT VIEW

Finding the perfect spot to enjoy the spectacular backdrop is crucial for maximum enjoyment, with several options. The best quality for viewing is found on or near the lake including Nevada Beach, Timber Cove Marina, Lakeview Commons/El Dorado Beach, and Edgewood Tahoe. Showing up early to these locations is beneficial space-wise. Another popular way to view is directly on the water on a personal vessel, a specialized cruise, or a private charter.
