Tahoe City, CA

The 4th of July is one of the busiest times of the year in Lake Tahoe. With an influx of people in the area, it’s more important than ever to travel responsibly. That's where TART comes in. It's a free, app-based door-to-door micro-transit that can take you almost anywhere in Lake Tahoe. Skip the driving and parking and let TART take you around.

Each year on July 5, Lake Tahoe residents and visitors turn out for one of the largest cleanups of the year, hosted by Keep Tahoe Blue. Held at various locations around Lake Tahoe, you can participate in the Keep Tahoe Red, White and Blue Beach Cleanup, and do your part to remove litter from beaches to help protect the area’s wildlife and the lake’s clarity.

From pancake breakfasts to orchestral performances, the Incline Village Crystal Bay Community & Business Association is showcasing Independence Day festivities for all ages. They’re even kicking off the Local Heroes 4th of July celebrations two days early. Join the community at Incline Village's Local Heroes Parade at 10AM.
