The second full weekend of summer has tons of fun in store in and around Tahoe. If you’re not already here, point the car up the hill and hit the gas, because it’s going to be HOT in the valleys this weekend. Thankfully, it’ll be beautiful up here, perfect swimming weather is in the forecast. 

Here are a few reminders from us about what’s going on at The Lake and in Truckee this weekend. If you have an event to add, please do so in the comments. If you’d like a future event included, please email kyle@tahoequarterly.com to get it on here. Without futher ado:

Thursday
