Tahoe Games Mountain Sports Festival
A bold new celebration of outdoor adventure is coming to South Lake Tahoe this fall. The debut of the Tahoe Games Mountain Sports Festival, presented by Visit Lake Tahoe and On Course Events, will transform the Lake Tahoe Amphitheatre at Caesars Republic into a high-energy hub of mountain culture, community and action-packed entertainment. This free, all-ages festival celebrates the best of Tahoe’s mountain culture with live music by Jakobs Castle, a vendor village, outdoor activities and the weekend’s centerpiece event, a Mountain Bike Big Air Competition.
The new project of Sublime frontman Bradley Nowell’s only son Jakob Nowell, Jakobs Castle is the sound of two worlds colliding in perfect union – the insouciant sounds of California’s past with the fresh mystery of internet underground culture. Jakobs Castle brings the perfect blend of energy and edge to launch Tahoe Games into motion. Their sound is the vibe — bold, bright and built for mountain festivals like this one.
Local nonprofit, The Smaine Fund is among the event partners, helping spotlight mentorship and safety in mountain sports. Current sponsors include Visit Lake Tahoe, Barton Center for Orthopedics & Wellness, STIO and more to be announced.
