The summer vibe is really getting going here in Lake Tahoe.
You just can’t beat the beautiful sunshine, perfect temperatures and mountains painted in a lovely white. The snow is melting fast, though. So if you are hoping to see this record-setting winter’s stronghold before its all gone, now is the time.
To help celebrate the beginning of the warmth, there are a ton of fun events on this week’s agenda. Here are my top five activities for the week to come.
Pig Roast
CB's Pizza and Grill is hosting its annual Pig Roast. An authentic roasting of the pig along with live music by Chad Elliot Wilkens will keep the festive vibe in full swing. All-you-can-eat tickets are available for $10. The party is on Friday, June 2, from 3 to 10 p.m.
